LaPorte, IN
An Indiana teenager who had sex with her high school volleyball coach
knew what she was doing and assumed all risk, according to court
documents the school district filed this week in response to an $18.7 million lawsuit filed by the girl's family.
The
family filed the lawsuit last week against the LaPorte Community School
Corp., maintaining schools officials ignored signs the two were
involved in a relationship. The lawsuit says the district 25 miles west
of South Bend didn't properly supervise its employees or provide a safe
environment for the girl, The Times of Munster reported
. The lawsuit alleges the girl, who was 15 when the relationship began,
had sex with the coach about 25 times between 2007 and 2009.
Former LaPorte High School junior varsity volleyball coach Robert Ashcraft, who is now 47, was found guilty
last year of three counts of sexual misconduct with a minor and one
count of child seduction. He was sentenced to 21 years in prison.
