Hearing scheduled for potential dismissal of Seneca Valley from federal lawsuit
PITTSBURGH — A hearing on a potential dismissal of the Seneca Valley School District from a federal lawsuit involving alleged false sexual assault allegations is scheduled for next week.
The original suit, filed by the Flood family of Zelienople on behalf of their minor son, T.F., lists as defendants David and Christy Sherk as parents of minor K.S.; David and Christine Seaman as parents of C.S.; Cris and Kimberly Salancy as parents of minor E.S.; and David and Lynn Reina, both individually and as parents of H.R. The suit also names the Seneca Valley School District.
An amended three-count complaint filed in May states that K.S., C.S., E.S. and H.R. falsely accused T.F. of criminal conduct, including sexual assault.
Oral arguments on the school district’s motion to dismiss are scheduled for Aug. 12 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District in Pittsburgh.
