A new lawsuit accuses a school district in New Jersey of ignoring pleas for help from two former students who say they were abused by a teacher.

The lawsuit was filed Wednesday against the Fort Lee School District and the Fort Lee Board of Education over allegations stemming from 2012 and 2017.

Kaylie Quezada, now 19, is one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The other victim is identified as 22-year-old Jane Doe. Both say the school district and school board were negligent in responding to their complaints about the teacher. The lawsuit says over the course of several years, several students lodged complaints about the same teacher."Made lewd and inappropriate sexual comments to her and about her, specifically about her body parts, he also touched her body in a sexual manner," said attorney for the plaintiffs Jeffrey Fritz.
