The lawsuit , filed Friday in federal court in Concord, New Hampshire, claims officials at St. Paul's School failed to report the sexual assault of a freshman during the 2012-13 school year. The lawsuit says school officials failed to report, investigate or address the girl's specific reports of sexual assault to state or local authorities. It says school officials also failed to investigate or eliminate the practice of older students "scoring" with freshman girls. Cox said the school was "truly sorry" for their pain "and for any failure of the school to protect them." The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they grant permission, as Prout has done.
