He was 10 years old when his charter school principal took a group of students on a trip to the bowling alley as a reward for doing well in class.
But the principal, Charles Weber, ended up violating the fifth grader. He took him to the bowling alley restroom, the boy says, and raped him.
Now, the Utah County boy and his mother are suing Soldier Hollow Charter School, alleging its board of directors ignored complaints from parents and staffers for years about Weber’s inappropriate behavior. Had they done something, the attorney for the now-17-year-old boy wrote in court papers, he would not have been abused in 2011.
