A woman who ran away as a teenager and lived for a decade with a school security guard sued the city and school district Thursday, claiming that they failed to fully investigate her disappearance.
Tanya Nicole Kach, 24, came forward March 21 and told police that she had been living in Thomas Hose's house for 10 years. Kach told police that Hose, 48, kept her in a bedroom in the small, two-story home where he lived with his parents.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh, claims police and city officials involved in the case were incompetent. It also alleges school officials knew or should have known Kach and Hose were having an improper relationship before her disappearance and did nothing to stop it.
"Now she has a completely stilted existence. She suffers from post traumatic stress disorder. She's unable to function in the community," said Lawrence Fisher, Kach's attorney. "We're calling on those institutions that failed her 10 years ago to step up and do something to help her."
Hose has pleaded not guilty to statutory sexual assault, three counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, two counts of indecent assault and other charges. He is living under house arrest and is unemployed, his attorney said.

Ummm, about her last name... I'm saying it in my head right now and I'm thinking maybe she ran away from home after being called names all her life. Just a guess, but does it sound like 'rock'?

Oh man, I just noticed the last name of the owner of the house she was living in. Would Jay Leno want to see the newspaper announcement of the Kach-Hose wedding?

"Two-story, not two-bedroom." LOL.....that makes all the difference. I grew up in a house with two living floors + a full attic and basement. I couldn't have hid a pet turtle from my parents, much less a 14-year-old-girl....

In a related story, the "hey could you warm up this fake penis in the 7-11 microwave for me" lady pled guilty. She could see 30 days and have to pay for a new microwave.

I tried to hide a 14 year old girl in my parent's house once. Didn't work. Mabe it was because I was also 14 and lacked the sophistication of this criminal mastermind.

Okay. Okay. I'm laughing . . . my poor kitty at least had better hair. And no that was NOT an attempt at an extention of this simile or would that be considered a metaphor? :-).
