A student who has accused a janitor of sexual assault is suing the Massapequa School District for failing to protect him, according to court documents.

The 18-year-old claims that he met Michael Sodano, 48, inside the bathroom to sell him headphones in February.

The lawsuit alleges that Sodano locked him inside then forcibly groped and kissed him.

Court documents say that Sodano was arrested for forcible touching and sexual abuse that same month. He pleaded not guilty to those charges in March.

News 12 is waiting to hear back from the district for comment.
