Four former students of Oswego High School in Illinois have filed a lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct and grooming by a former teacher and coach, Sean Staffeldt, and failures by the school district to protect them even after complaints were filed. The plaintiffs claim years of sexual harassment, misconduct, and grooming by Staffeldt, who was placed on administrative leave in 2020 and resigned. The lawsuit also claims that the district failed to implement trauma-informed practices to protect students who come forward. The plaintiffs are asking other victims to come forward and are seeking to end the cycle of abuse within schools.
