EUREKA, Mo. — A former Eureka High School football player and his mother have filed a lawsuit against the Rockwood School District, claiming the boy endured sexual harassment and hazing at the school for nearly two years and not enough was done to stop it.
The lawsuit, filed Jan. 9 in St. Louis County Circuit Court, says the student was assaulted, harassed and discriminated against beginning when he was a freshman football player in 2021. The suit claims the student had to quit the football team in summer 2023, and his mother lost her job because she was forced to take so much time off work to deal with the situation.
The boy is identified as “John Doe” in court documents.
