In this Child Victims Act case, stemming from the sexual abuse of a middle school student by his teacher, the Appellate Division, Second Department, in accordance with our arguments on appeal, reversed the lower court’s order awarding summary judgment to the school district and reinstated the complaint, holding that the school district had failed to establish, prima facie, that it was not negligent in hiring the teacher and that it lacked constructive notice of the teacher’s abusive propensities/conduct under the circumstances.
