COLUMBUS: A federal lawsuit accuses an Ohio school district of ignoring complaints by two 12-year-olds that they were sexually harassed by other students, and one of the girls says she was later raped on a school bus.
The lawsuit was filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Columbus by the girls' families.
It alleges that the girls reported sexual harassment to a counselor and a middle school principal in the South-Western school district. An attorney for the families said the district failed to take action.
The Franklin County sheriff's office says 15-year-old Mark Castle of Columbus has been charged with two counts of rape and one count of gross sexual imposition. His attorney declined comment.
A spokeswoman for the South-Western school district did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
