In a brief filed on Oct. 15 in U.S. District Court, Kristin Hurt and four other plaintiffs requested the judge open the case to

“Any current or former female student during the time period that Dan Acker (Jr.) worked for (the) Shelby County School Board who was either injured, sexually harassed, abused or molested by Dan Acker (Jr.), or who witnessed such conduct or who was exposed to a sexually hostile education environment through Acker’s conduct.”

If the case is granted class action status, all individuals fitting the above description would be able to join as plaintiffs in the civil lawsuit, which was brought against Acker and the Shelby County Board of Education in February.
