JACKSON TWP — Two additional responses filed Tuesday in connection with a federal lawsuit on false sexual assault allegations against a Seneca Valley student were similar in tone to ones filed earlier in the week.

The Zelienople families addressed the lawsuit brought by Alecia and Michael Flood Jr. in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh, claiming their minor son, identified as T.F. in the suit, suffered physical torment and psychological trauma as a result of false sexual assault allegations.

Pittsburgh attorney Stephen Magley — who is representing David and Christine Seaman and their daughter, C.S. — argued that the plaintiffs have not presented an evidence-based case.

While the Seamans' defense bears a remarkably close resemblance to that of the Salancys, the Villegas family responded with different reasoning for the same motions for dismissal.

As she is the only alleged conspirer who is an adult, Meghan Villegas's parents, George and Pam Villegas, argued that they shouldn't have to answer to negligence accusations because Meghan Villegas wasn't a minor at the time of the incidents described in the lawsuit.

Additionally, the defense offered on behalf of Meghan Villegas revolves around the statute of limitations.
