slacker Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Irregular News for 02.15.07 Jacksonville, FL -- A girl who had a sexual relationship with a high school coach and tutor more than one year ago when she was 15 has filed suit against the Duval County School Board, claiming its negligence allowed at least one of the sexual encounters. Esmond Frazier, a 25-year-old assistant volleyball coach and after-school tutor at Lee High School, was convicted of lewd battery with the teenage student and served six months in jail. The student, now 17, hired an attorney to sue the school board, claiming it was negligent when they hired Frazier. While police reports indicate the sex was consensual and occurred over a period of time, the incident when Frazier took her out of class and to a nearby motel during school hours makes the school district liable. "As a parent, we trust our children into the hands of schools and they have the responsibility to make sure they're cared for," Attorney Curry Pajcic said. "In this case, a teacher allowed a young child to be taken out of the classroom and taken to a hotel." Pajcic said the school district was negligent in monitoring Frazier and for allowing the young lady to be removed from class during school hours. "He went into her classroom, while she was in class, took her out of class, walked her out of the high school and took her to a hotel," Pajcic said. "Persons should be held accountable for their actions -- that is a principle we all stand by. Hopefully they will voluntarily be held accountability -- hopefully we won't have to go to court." Attorneys for the school board said they cannot comment on pending litigation. source Quote Link to comment
