A teenager who alleges she was sexually assaulted at Culver City High School by members of the football team is suing the school district.

The suit was filed on the girl’s behalf Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court by her legal guardian and seeks unspecified damages.

A representative of the Culver City Unified School District could not be immediately reached today.

The suit states that the girl, now 15, was 14 years old and a virgin when she was sexually assaulted on the campus “multiple times between the dates of Dec. 4, 2013, and Dec. 23, 2013.”

“As starting players, assailants were in peak physical condition, extremely strong and physically intimidating,” the suit states.

The athletes coerced the girl to “hang out” with them and listen to music in the campus parking lot during school hours, the suit states. They forced her to perform sex acts with them while their companions watched, the suit states.

A video was secretly made of the incidents and given to other students, “spreading malicious rumors regarding (the plaintiff’s) sexual promiscuity,” the suit states.

The male students warned the girl not to tell anyone what happened and harassed her verbally and emotionally, the suit states.

Two of the girl’s alleged assailants found out that she reported the alleged attacks to school officials and confronted her “in an attempt to coerce her to lie and recant her allegations,” the suit states.

District personnel should have known that similar misconduct took place on school grounds in the past, according to the lawsuit.

Since the assaults, the girl has thought about committing suicide, the suit states.
