   SAN DIEGO -- A lawsuit filed on behalf of a former student at   
   the private Bishop's School in La Jolla alleges that a female   
   computer science teacher repeatedly molested and harassed the   
   now 41-year-old plaintiff over a two-year period, beginning when   
   he was 16 years old.   
      
   The alleged abuse included fondling, oral sex and sexual   
   intercourse on campus grounds, the teacher's home, a hotel, a   
   restaurant, a park and other locations throughout San Diego,   
   according to the lawsuit.   
      
   The teacher -- a married mother with children then in her early   
   30s -- would sometimes bring John H. Doe into the computer lab   
   and molest him with the door locked and windows covered, the   
   complaint alleges.   
      
   The alleged acts continued after the student turned 18 and was   
   no longer a student at the college preparatory school, according   
   to the plaintiff's court papers.   
      
   A statement issued by plaintiff's attorney Vince Finaldi said   
   the school, the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego and the teacher   
   are defendants in the suit filed in San Diego Superior Court.   
      
   Representatives from the school and the diocese could not   
   immediately be reached for comment.   
      
   According to the suit, Doe only realized last year through   
   therapy that lingering "psychological injuries or illnesses"   
   were the result of the abuse he allegedly suffered at the hands   
   of the teacher.   
      
   The suit alleges that on multiple occasions, other staff and the   
   school's headmistress saw the plaintiff and his computer science   
   teacher leaving the computer lab together, with no other person   
   in the room. The headmistress' follow-up questions to the   
   plaintiff, including "How are you really?" suggested knowledge   
   about what was happening, according to the complaint.   
      
   The court filing states that the teacher was fired in 2018 for   
   reasons not stated in the lawsuit.   
      
   Allegations against former Bishop's School teachers have made   
   headlines over the years, though the bulk of the allegations   
   related to abuse that allegedly occurred in the 1970s and '80s.   
   A letter issued to alumni last year stated that seven graduates   
   had come forward regarding alleged sexual abuse at the campus,   
   with 15 separate incidents described, according to a July 2018   
   La Jolla Light article.   
      
   Finaldi said, "This scandal-plagued school had every reason to   
   be on guard given the long history of criminal sexual activity   
   on their campus. Instead, they ignored all the warning signs and   
   allowed a teacher to sexually molest, harass and threaten our   
   client for two years."   
      
   Doe said in a statement, "I have chosen to keep my name private   
   as is the right of every victim of child sexual assault in   
   California. My message to other victims of abuse at the Bishop's   
   School is -- contact law enforcement. Hold your abuser   
   accountable. Protect other children. Your privacy will be   
   respected, and you will be believed."
