Young Sexual Assault Victim Files Multimillion Dollar Lawsuit

Marcie Rousseau, a Michigan teacher currently serving four to fifteen years in prison for multiple counts of sexual assault, is in the news once again.  The victim of her past sexual assault has just recently filed nine multi-million dollar civil lawsuits, and another against Rousseau.  The nameless victim is now suing Rousseau, contending that he’s endured physical and emotional damage and injury because of the incident.
The victim is also suing the school, the superintendent, and the district for allegedly ignoring evidence of Rousseau’s sexual assault and thus not discouraging the event in a proper manner.  The victim, who is seeking $1 million in damages from each defendant, has stressed that his life has been altered dramatically from the incident.
