However, tort claim is the first step to filing a lawsuit against the budget structure indicates the fact that the master was not justified and had to be removed from the work with students.
«The prosecutors directly stated the family did not press charges because the alleged sexual violence witnesses, and because such accusations must be supported by evidence beyond a reasonable doubt,» said Roux, adding that the girl, who is now 16 years old, suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, stress and depression.

In addition, the teacher was removed from the classroom during the investigation. «Several independent governmental investigations found no evidence of misconduct on the part of a member of the school staff and he was reinstated,» said Smith. «We followed Protocol and procedures concerning this issue.»
