The lawsuit against the Catholic Diocese of Grand Rapids and schools by the teen victim of sexual abuse by a tutor has been dismissed.
That includes the case against the tutor, 34-year-old Abigail Simon, who remains in the state woman’s prison.
The 11-day trial in November 2014 was the subject of national attention — due in no small part to Simon’s defense that she was the victim of rape by the 15-year-old Grand Rapids Catholic Central High School student she was hired to tutor, not the other way around. But evidence including recorded phone messages and thousands of text messages convinced a jury that it was Simon who was the sexual aggressor. She was convicted of four felony charges and sentenced to prison for eight to 25 years.
