So who is being sued?
The taxpayers or the individuals responsible?
Maybe the victims.
The locals say (well some) that the 3 with money and good lawyers were really just following the ringleader - that is the one without money or a good lawyer. So, the taxpayers, I assume.
The lawsuit names the board of education, former Principal Casey Crouse, former coaches Vincent Colbert and Eric Wallich, and former Athletic Director Joe Doody as defendants.
Also: The four teens involved were charged with first-degree rape, attempted rape and conspiracy charges. Their cases were tried in juvenile court, with proceedings closed to the public, so their pleas and sentences are not known.
