Girl's Parents Sue Teacher Accused of
Molesting Her, School


The parents of a seven-year-old Indianapolis-area girl are suing a former first-grade
teacher accused of molesting her as well as school officials for negligence in hiring
him.

Jeffrey Baber, 40, is scheduled for trial October third in Marion Superior Court on four
counts of child molesting.

In a lawsuit filed last month in the same court, the girl's family accuses Beech Grove
schools superintendent and several top administrators of negligence for hiring Baber
and allowing him to work at Hornet Park Elementary for ten years.

The family is seeking unspecified damages.

Baber is accused of inappropriately touching the girl more than once. Baber's attorney
and school officials declined to comment on the suit.
