This sexual abuse was perpetrated by a teacher's assistant who documented this sexual abuse on his cell phones, This lawsuit is brought on behalf of a nine-year-old victim who specifically told his, fourth-grade teacher of the abuse, and she responded, “I don’t believe you. Go sit down.” The victim is seeking damages against the Board of Education, the school’s principal, the fourth- grade teacher, and the perpetrator whose abuse was made possible by his position at the school and the inaction of the Board and its agents. JURISDICTION AND VE 1. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter and all parties pursuant to Md. Code, § 6-102 through § 6-103 of the Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article (“C.J.P, ”). 2. Pursuant to C.J.P. § 6-201, venue in Prince George’s County is proper. All material events occurred in Prince George’s County, Maryland, PARTIES 3. Plaintiff Jane Doe #3 is an adult citizen of the State of Maryland who resides in Prince George’s County. Jane Doe #3 sues in her individual capacity and as the mother on behalf of John Doe #3, a minor, John Doe #3 is nine-years-old and is a resident of the State of Maryland. 4, Defendant Prince George’s County Board of Education (the “Board”) constitutes the governing body for the Prince George’s County public school system. The Board's principal office is located at 14201 School Lane in Upper Marlboro, Maryland 20772. The Board is a corporate body created under Md. Code, § 3-103 of the Education Article. At all times mentioned, Deonte Carraway was an agent of Defendant Board as a teacher's assistant at Sylvania Woods Elementary School. 5. Defendant Michelle Williams is an adult citizen of the State of Maryland. At all times relevant to the facts alleged herein, Williams served as the Principal of Judge Sylvania Woods Elementary School, Plaintiffs are suing Principal Williams in her official and individual capacity. 6.

Defendant Deonte Carraway is an adult citizen of the State of Maryland, He resides at 7930 Glenarden Parkway, Apt. 514, Lanham, MD 20706. At all times relevant to this complaint, he acted in his official capacity as an agent and servant of the Board of Education and in his individual capacity. FACT: IMMON TO ALL. 8. John Doe #3 is nine-years-old and in the fourth grade at Judge Sylvania Woods Elementary School, which is located at 3000 Church Street in Glenarden, Maryland 20706. 9, Atall times relevant to the facts alleged herein, the school was led by Principal Michelle Williams, Principal Williams was a policymaker at Judge Sylvania Woods Elementary School who had the ability to implement policy, control who is present in the school, control school grounds, and had a duty to monitor and supervise staff members, employces, and others who worked and/or were present on school property for education purposes, including Deonte Carraway, 10, From November 2014 to September 2015, Deonte Carraway was employed as a paid teacher's assistant at Sylvania Woods Elementary School. Since September 2015, Carraway has continued to work at Sylvania Woods Elementary School as a teacher's assistant on an unpaid basis 11. Asa teacher's assistant at the school, Carraway was responsible for the care, supervision, and safety of the students, including John Doe #3. 12, Carraway used his position as a teacher’s assistant to sexually assault and prey on students at Sylvania Woods Elementary School. Specifically, his status as a teacher's assistant permitted him access to the school, the auditorium, and the bathrooms with elementary age lren. Carraway’s status as a teacher’s assistant also permitted him to remove students from class and escort them to various locations within the school building, which made possible this sexual abuse and exploitation. 13, While in the schoo! building during school hours, Carraway pressured and/or coerced students to engage in sexual acts with him. Carraway recorded this criminal sexual abuse of the minor children on his cell phone, 14, Carraway also pressured, coerced, and enticed children who were students at Sylvania Woods Elementary to perform sexual acts with each other that he filmed on his phone, Carraway used his status as an adult, a school employee, and agent of the school to persuade school children at Sylvania Woods, including the plaintiff John Doe #3, to perform sexual acts that he filmed, Carraway told some of the students that they would be participating in a “club” with him to help persuade them to engage in these sexual acts on camera. The children that he persuaded to film these acts were as young as nine years old, Upon information and belief, the number of victims is at least 17, but it may be as many as 30. 15. The filming of these sexual acts took place openly in the school building during school hours, including in such open places as the school auditorium, as well as in the bathrooms and other locations on school property, Carraway was able to openly entice these children to perform sexual acts openly on school property because of the complete absence of any supervision and oversight of his conduct or behavior involving these children. 16, Plaintiff John Doe #3 is nine-years-old and was vulnerable to the influence of an adult authority figure such as Carraway. During schoo! hours on school property, Carraway enticed Plaintiff #3 to perform sexual acts on camera. Carraway filmed these sexual acts for his own gratification and with the intent to use the images of this child sexual activity for exploitive purposes. Carraway would call the children out of their classrooms and escort them to different locations on school property for the purposes of sexually abusing the students and/or recording the abuse on his cellular phone. Carraway was able to exercise this control over students by virtue of his position of trust and authority at the school, which was conferred upon him by Defendants Board of Education and Principal Williams. 17. John Doe #3 is currently a fourth grade student at Sylvania Woods and is one of Carraway’s victims. 18. Carraway pulled John Doe #3 out of class by telling him that Principal Williams wanted to speak with him. Carraway took John Doe #3 to the dressing room behind the stage in the auditorium, John Doe #3 went with Carraway because he thought that was where Principal Williams wanted to talk with him. When they got there, another male student in John Doe #3°s class was already in the dressing room with his pants pulled down, Carraway directed John Doe #3 to pull down his pants, John Doe #3 said “no” over and over again, He repeatedly told Carraway that he wanted to leave 19, To keep John Doe #3 from leaving, Carraway took out a phone and told John Doe #3 that he was calling the police. Fearful of the threat, John Doe #3 complied with Carraway’s demands. Carraway then directed the other student to perform a sex act with John Doe #3. Carraway propped up a different cell phone in the room and began recording, He left the room but continued to direct them from outside the door and threatened them if they stopped. Specifically, Carraway told John Doe #3 that, “[iJf you pull your pants back up, I am going to tell everyone you were raping [name omitted].” Shortly after, John Doe #3 pushed open the door and ran out of the dressing room and back to class 20, When John Doe #3 arrived at his math class, he immediately walked up to his teacher, Gwyndolyn McNair, and reported Carraway’s criminal actions, John Doe #3 told McNair that “Deonte wanted [name omitted] to hump me.” 21. In response, MeNair told him, “I don’t believe you. Go sit down.” 22. The other student was not in the class at this time. McNair made no attempts to locate the other student. 23, MeNair never spoke again with John Doe #3 about what happened or asked him any questions. 24. McNair never informed his mother, Jane Doe #3, of what he had reported to her. 25. Despite John Doe #3’s statement to MeNair that “Deonte wanted [name omitted] to hump: me,” Carraway was permitted to continue working at the school, pulling students out of class, and escorting them to various locations within the schoo! building for the purpose of sexually abusing them and recording the abuse with his cell phones. 26, On a separate occasion, while John Doe #3 was on the school playground, Carraway showed him a pornographic video of two Sylvania Woods students. 27. In January 2016, the uncle of another Sylvania Woods’ student discovered that Carraway had been communicating with that student and other children on Kik, a mobile messaging application which allows individuals to anonymously send messages, photographs, and videos The student's uncle, who periodically checks the student's phone, saw on his cell phone that there were inappropriate pictures of students that were sent through 28, That student’s uncle and guardian notified the administration at Sylvania Woods Elementary School about the inappropriate pictures and messages from Carraway. On February 4, 2016, they met with Assistant Principal Donna Smith and Principal Michelle Williams and showed them the photographs on the student’s phone. Principal Williams told the student’s uncle and Jane Doe to return to the schoo! the next day for another meeting, 29. That night, the student’s uncle contacted the Prince George’s County Police Department about the pictures and messages. 30. Upon initiating an investigation, Prince George’s County Police Department discovered four SIM cards from Carraway’s mobile phone. On just one of the SIM cards, there were at least 44 recordings of sexual acts involving children. 31. Upon information and belief, in some of the recordings, Carraway can be seen or heard directing the children to perform certain sexual acts. 32. Upon information and belief, one of the recordings is of a child performing a sexual act in a school bathroom while he recorded the act on his cell phone, on Carrawé 33. Upon information and belief, the obscene recordings on Carraway’s phone range from cight-second clips to videos running over a minute. 34, Upon information and belief, the recordings have been made since at least carly 2015 and continued until Carraway’s arrest on February 5, 2016. 35, Atall times relevant to this complaint, Carraway acted as an agent of the Board and this, status and position of influence, control, and authority conferred by the Board permitted, facilitated, enabled, and caused this conduct to occur. Specifically, during the school day and on school property, the Board gave Carraway access to elementary age students, including John Doe #3. The Board gave Carraway a position of influence over these students, including John Doe #3. ‘The Board gave Carraway control of these students and permitted Carraway to have and use his authority as a teacher's assistant to remove students from classrooms, transport the students to bathrooms, auditoriums, or other locations on school property, and perpetrate this sexual abuse during the school day, which he documented by recording these acts. 36, Carraway’s abuse was common knowledge among the students at Sylvania Woods Elementary School 37. At least one teacher, Gwendolyn McNair, had actual knowledge based on John Doe #3°s report that Carraway was abusing children at the school. 38. Parents and teachers at Sylvania Woods Elementary School had expressed concern and/or raised issues about Carraway’s predatory behavior to Principal Michelle Williams, but she took no action. 39, Principal Williams refused to take any action because she claimed the teachers had “no proof” of Carraway’s actions, 40, Such statements were clearly untrue, given what John Doe #3 had told his teacher, Gwendolyn McNair, concerning what Carraway coerced him to do on school property 41. Upon information and belief, the administration knew or should have known about Carraway’s predatory conduct, but Principal Williams and the Board failed to remove him from the school in a timely manner. 42. Upon information and belief, agents of the Board «d to promptly report these concerns in violation of Maryland law with respect to promptly reporting sexual abuse as required by Md. Code, § 5-704 of the Family Law Article. F.L. § 5-704 requires educators, among others, to notify the appropriate authorities soon as possible” and submit a “written report” within 48 hours if the educator has “reason to believe that a child has been subjected to abuse or neglect.” 43. On or about February 5, 2016, as a result of this criminal sexual child abuse, Carraway was arrested and charged with ten counts of felony child pornography in violation of Md. Code, § 11-207 of the Criminal Law Article, one count of sexual abuse of a minor in violation of Md, Code, § 3-602 of the Criminal Law Article, and one count of second-degree sex offense in violation of Md. Code, § 3-306 of the Criminal Law Article, See State v. Deonte Lavell Carraway, Case No.: 5E00605015 (District Court of Maryland for Prince George's County). 44, On February 23, 2016, Carraway was charged by federal criminal complaint with eight counts of producing child pornography, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2251. See United States ofAmerica v. Deonte Carraway, Case No.: CBD-16-449 (United States District Court for the District of Maryland). 45. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants’ actions, Plaintiffs suffered damages, including but not limited to, emotional harm and distress, emotional trauma, humiliation, embarrassment, loss of privacy, mental pain and suffering, fright, nervousness, indignity, and insult, Plaintiff John Doe #3 will require psychological counseling and other treatment as a result of this abuse.

Carraway violated 18 U.S.C. § 2252A by knowingly possessing and distributing child pornography by showing videos and pictures to minor students at the school, which depicted John Doe #3 and other students. 49. The Board of Education violated this statute because Carraway acted as an agent of the Board and this status and position of influence, control, and authority conferred by the Board permitted, facilitated, and enabled this conduct to occur.

On February 23, 2016, Carraway was charged by federal criminal complaint with eight counts of producing child pornography, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2251. See United States of America v. Deonte Carraway, Case No.: CBD-16-449 (United States District Court for the District of Maryland). 59. The Board of Education violated this statute because Carraway acted as an agent of the Board and this status and position of influence, control, and authority conferred by the Board permitted, facilitated, and enabled this conduct to occur. Specifically, during the school day and on school property, the Board gave Carraway access to these elementary age students, The Board ‘gave Carraway a position of influence over these students. The Board gave Carraway control of these students and permitted Carraway to have and use his authority as a teacher's assistant to remove students from classrooms, transport the students to bathrooms, auditoriums, or other locations on school property, and perpetrate this sexual abuse during the school day, which he documented by recording these acts.

Plaintiffs sue Defendants Williams and Carraway for cause, claim, damages, and hereby adopt and incorporate by reference the allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint as though set forth fully herein 13 63. This cause of action is to redress the deprivation under color of statute, ordinance, regulation, policy, custom, practice or usage of a right, privilege and immunity secured to the plaintiffs by the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. 64, At all relevant times, Carraway worked as a teacher’s assistant for Defendant Board. 65. Based on the allegations above, Carraway, acting individually and in his official capacity as an agent of Sylvania Woods Elementary School, acted under color of state law and deprived John Doe #3 of clearly established rights protected by the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S, Constitution, 66. Defendants’ actions deprived John Doe #3 of his right under the Fourteenth Amendment t0 bodily int ty and personal security 67. Defendants’ actions deprived John Doe #3 of his right under the Fourteenth Amendment to be free from sexual abuse and/or sexual exploitation by public school employees and/or agents 68.

This includes, but is not limited to, the failure to thoroughly investigate claims of abuse, the failure to supervise teachers, and the policy of permitting teaching assistants to pull students out of class. 71. Defendants’ actions demonstrated a deliberate indifference and/or tacit approval of the sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of students by Carraway. 72. Defendants have followed these unconstitutional policies and customs with respect to John Doe #3’s treatment and the treatment of other Prince George’s County Public School students, 73.

COUNT IV Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U (Plaintiffs v. Defendant Board of Education) § 1681 74, Plaintiffs sues the Board of Education for cause, claim, damages, and hereby adopts and incorporates by reference the allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint as though set forth fully herein, 75. 20 U.S.C. § 1681 (a) provides that “[nJo person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance[.]” 76. Defendant Board operates Sylvania Woods Elementary School and receives federal funding, 77. John Doe #3 suffered sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and/or sexual exploitation in the form of sexual advances, offensive touching, illegal sexual contact, and sexual exploitation for the purpose of producing a recording of the conduct. This harassment occurred on school property and during school hours. 78. The sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and/or sexual exploitation created a hostile, abusive, intimidating, and offensive educational environment at Sylvania Woods Elementary School. This hostile and abusive environment affected John Doe #3’s ability to participate in school and negatively impacted his psychological well-being 79. The sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and/or sexual exploitation deprived John Doe #3 of equal access to his education and educational opportunities, and it had a negative effect on his ability to participate in his education. 80. John Doe #3 told his teacher, Gwyndolyn McNair, that he had been sexually harassed and abused at school. Despite this, McNair, Principal Williams, and the Board failed to conduct any meaningful investigation or take any meaningful action in response. Despite John Doe #3°s statement to his teacher that “Deonte wanted [name omitted] to hump me,” Carraway was permitted to continue working at the school, pulling students out of class, and escorting them to various locations within the school building for the purpose of sexually abusing them and recording the abuse with his cell phones. 81.
