OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — A federal appeals court sided with Omaha Public Schools in a lawsuit filed by the family of a young woman who was sexually assaulted by her middle school teacher.
According to our partners the Omaha World-Herald, the sexual abuse happened at Davis Middle School.
Brian Robeson pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual assault and was sentenced to 40 years in prison back in 2016. The family then sued the school district and principal at the time.
