Mother of disabled girl who was allegedly raped in Starbucks bathroom sues company, school district
Associated PressThe mother of an intellectually disabled girl who was allegedly led from school grounds by three male students and sexually assaulted in a Starbucks bathroom and a nearby empty building filed a lawsuit Wednesday accusing Starbucks, Pittsburgh Public Schools and a property management company of negligence. At Taylor Allderdice High School, district officials had negotiated with Pittsburgh’s public transportation authority to move the public transit bus stop that many students use to the location in front of the Starbucks. The girl’s mother notified school officials that her daughter would need help adjusting to high school and with taking public transportation to school, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges the male teens were given unrestricted access to the girl when they were able to lead her off campus to the Starbucks bus stop, where school officials did not provide any safety monitors during prime transportation hours despite knowing about increased incidents of student-based violence and other negative activities.
