Former student sues Chicago Public Schools over alleged sexual assault by security guard

A former student at Dunbar Vocational Career Academy has filed a lawsuit claiming he was repeatedly sexually assaulted by a school security guard. The lawsuit alleges that teachers and staff failed to protect him and did not investigate the misconduct. The student, now 18, says the abuse occurred in late 2021 when he was 15. He reported the incidents to his parents, who then contacted the police and the school. The security guard, Tywain Carter, was arrested and is serving an eight-year prison sentence after pleading guilty. The lawsuit seeks to hold the Chicago Public Schools accountable for not following procedures to prevent and report abuse. The student’s family expressed disappointment over the lack of support from the school after the incidents.
