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.

You can't make this stuff up!
They should have know'd I was such an idiot.
Any Judge who even contemplates this case is a moron.
She'd have a better case against the security guard,but he has an income of $15,000/yr and a net worth of about $700.
At first I thought this must be a joke. The lawyer who brought this should be fined.
So, she got hosed?
Could not resist. :)
You are much too generous! He [or more likely She] should be disbarred. That is the only acceptable way to put an end to this sort of abuse of the judicial system.

Wait a second, I thought the security guard befriended her, and took her to his place when she skipped school. Once he got her there, he held her there against her will.
Victim mentally only changes through action most of the time, even with years of therapy. The best thing she can do is see that her own actions can amount to successful outcomes (that are not predicated on exploiting her 'victimhood'). This will strengthen her confidence and her misconception that she is a VICTIM in large red letters.
Her hair is hurting my eyes.
Ummm... like didn't his parents kinda notice there was a 14yo girl in the 2 bedroom house?
Honey, you were better off missing. Oh yea, youre an idiot too.
LOL ...... when she finally came back home there were the same twelve grungy, deep potholes in the street right in front of her house.
Don't younz just hate that.....?
Her hairdresser needs a lobotomy........
