    North Jersey: Suit alleges district didn't properly vet teacher accused of sexual assault (May 10 2012)

    The woman who was the alleged victim of sexual assault that resulted in the arrest earlier this year of the school district’s head football coach and physical education/health teacher has filed a federal lawsuit against the teacher, the district, a former administrator and a current administrator. The suit stems from the January arrest of 39-year-old Scott Rubinetti ... In the lawsuit, the woman, named as "Jane Doe" to protect her identity, names Rubinetti, the Lyndhurst Board of Education, former high school principal Joseph Sabato (who was principal in 2009-10) and current high school vice principal Frank Venezia (who was in his current role in 2009-10) as defendants. It also names fictitious names and corporations to open the possibility of more defendants as the case proceeds. The woman seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit in the five-count civil complaint.
