South Dakota Case Settled

A settlement has been reached over a suit alleging sexual abuse at the South Dakota School for the Deaf. While jurors were still deliberating the civil trial came to a halt. Neither side would say what was agreed upon. But the lawsuit was brought by three former students who accused a fellow student had sexually assaulted them. Two interpreters were brought in from other states for the trial. Their $20,000 bill is about a quarter of how much the county spends on interpreters for the entire year.
