This is a picture of Elizabeth M. Dillett. Mrs. Dillett was a teacher at St. Peter-Immanuel Lutheran school in Milwaukee. Mrs. Dillett is a sexual predator who had sex with a 14 year old boy on at least 15 occasions beginning in 2015. The victim is named Josiah Strong.
St. Peter-Immanuel Lutheran School sued for $20M in 2016 sex case involving student
Josiah Strong didn't get to be a child for very long.At 14, he showed a lot of promise. He had big, bold dreams of playing football and going to college, then coaching the next generation of athletes.
Strong, instead, says he found himself on a path that he argues in court papers was paved with untreated mental illness and self-medicating with drugs and alcohol.
On Tuesday, Strong filed a lawsuit in federal court in Milwaukee against Dillett and Lutheran Urban Mission Initiative, Inc., the organization that runs St. Peter-Immanuel Lutheran School, where he once studied. He's seeking $20 million in damages.
Dillett was St. Peter-Immanuel's athletic director and an instructor at the school.
She was charged in 2016 with sexual assault of a child by a person who works with children and sexual intercourse with a child age 16 or older. Dillett pleaded guilty later that year to two counts of assault by someone who works with children.
"I lost my childhood," said Strong, 24, his voice cracking and his eyes welling with tears. "I've lost friendships, a lot of relationships that I've tarnished. I'd never wish this experience on anybody. Nobody deserves this."
Court papers allege Dillett had sexual intercourse with Strong 15 to 20 times in 2015 while he was a minor. Some of the encounters occurred in a classroom.
