SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — The mother of a sex exploitation victim has filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Sioux City school district. The complaint filed last week says the negligence of Sioux City Community Schools and IowaJAG Inc. was responsible for Erick Deleon’s ability to have contact with the girl after school hours.

The lawsuit includes a claim against the former high school soccer coach for assault and battery or sexual exploitation. Thirty-year-old Deleon, the district and iJAG face a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The mother, who isn’t named in order to protect the girl’s identity, is seeking an unspecified amount of damages. Deleon has been sentenced to three years of probation and a suspended five-year prison sentence in the case.

District spokeswoman Alison Benson declined to comment on pending litigation.
