Abuse Lawsuit: Arguments Over Timeliness

Statute of limitations is issue in lawsuit of Kristen Cunnane against the Moraga School District over prevention of sexual abuse from the 1990s.

Arguments in the lawsuit of Kristen Cunnane vs. the Moraga School District center on statute of limitations.

At issue is the timing of Cunnane's 2012 lawsuit claiming the school district failed to take steps to prevent sexual abuse by a science teacher at Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School in the 1990s, according to a report by the Contra Costa Times.

After a Friday hearing, Contra Costa Superior Court Judge Judith Craddick asked for more written arguments from both sides and scheduled another hearing for July 29, the Times reported.
