Marni S. Berger, a partner at Anapol Weiss, is representing a former Perkiomen School student in a federal lawsuit alleging sexual assault and negligence by the school. The suit claims a 17-year-old female student, identified as Jane Doe, was assaulted by a male student in a dormitory earlier this year.
The complaint accuses the school of failing to provide adequate security, monitor dormitories, and enforce rules against underage drinking. The incident allegedly occurred on May 5, after the male student offered the victim alcohol and made unwanted advances.
Though the victim reported the assault to school officials, the lawsuit claims she was forced to leave the school shortly after, causing further emotional harm. The suit highlights systemic failures and calls for accountability to ensure student safety.
This legal action underscores the need for stricter security measures at educational institutions. Anapol Weiss, led by Berger in this case, continues to advocate for justice and systemic change to prevent similar incidents.
