Brooklyn Tech Officials Investigate Shocking Student Abuse Investigation: Lawsuit

Prestigious high school Brooklyn Tech failed to investigate shocking sexual abuse between students by deleting evidence of “child pornography” and even accusing the victim of organizing a campaign to prosecute the perpetrator, she claims in a lawsuit.

The victim, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, claims school officials substantiated her allegations against an older classmate, with one calling it the “worst case” of such misconduct they have ever seen.

The 6-foot classmate “monitored and watched” the then 15-year-old Doe when they started dating in January 2020, demanding her online passwords, demanding that she share screenshots of “every text message she sent anyone” threatening and verbally abusing her if she did not respond immediately, and sometimes pushing and placing his hand on the girl’s throat, who, according to court documents, weighed no more than 100 pounds.

According to Doe, the boyfriend “seemed to enjoy evoking extreme fear.”

Things got even worse three months later when schools switched to remote learning due to COVID-19. The girl alleges in the lawsuit that her abuser was “incessant” and “forced” her to take photos and videos in the nude, as well as to perform sexual acts while he watched online, in “certain positions and with certain private parts of the body.” on display.” direction. It took hundreds of reshoots before he approved.”

According to Doe, when she resisted, he threatened to release nude photos of her. She eventually told the school counselor 18 months later when face-to-face teaching returned and she realized they were sharing a class, but instead of reporting the sexual exploitation of a minor to the police, the counselor simply changed his schedule, per the lawsuit.

The defendant, whose name was not released to The Post because he was apparently not charged with any crime, did not deny the allegations to school authorities, Dow said. The accuser alleges that the administrator who investigated the claims viewed the illegal photos on his phone and ordered the young man to delete them, but also failed to call the NYPD.

The alleged abuser called the girl a liar on social media, alerting his classmates to the investigation. When graffiti began appearing in the building labeling him as a “scumbag”, school officials threatened to punish Jane Doe and investigate it, as well as hinting “that she was somehow responsible”, according to her legal documents.

Her family was forced to go to law enforcement themselves, and officers told them that this behavior “was the type of abuse they would expect from an abusive middle-aged man, not a teenager,” according to court documents.

According to court documents, the only punishment for the accused abuser was to write a letter of apology, while the victim was told the only way to avoid it was to change schools.

“There was simply no discussion of what [the accused] should be the one that needs to be transferred to another school,” the alleged victim said in the lawsuit, adding that according to Department of Education policy, her only option is to “give up the place she earned in one of the best high schools in the country, instead to expect any protection from further encounters with the bully at school.”

Both ended up staying at Brooklyn Tech.

Doe sues her ex, the Department of Energy, and the city for unspecified damages.

“We take these allegations very seriously and will look into the lawsuit,” a DOE spokesman said.

The accused classmate’s lawyer denied the allegations.

“This civil lawsuit is the culmination of a years-long smear campaign against the teenager. The accusations have already been investigated and verified by several organizations, and yet [Jane Doe] and, it can be assumed, her parents are not satisfied with the findings, ”said lawyer Ryan Blanch. “It’s a sad day when high school teenage relationships are being challenged in the most aggressive way, à la the Wars of the Roses.”
