A Little Elm family is suing North Texas Collegiate Academy and principal Donica Hill, alleging the school failed to report an 8-year-old boy’s disclosure that a teacher had sexually abused him. The lawsuit says the boy wrote about being touched by teacher Eric Moore in a statement dated Dec. 5. It alleges Hill and the school did not notify law enforcement, report Moore to the State Board for Educator Certification or take steps to supervise him. The family’s attorney, Zeke Fortenberry, said the school should have contacted police after receiving the disclosure. He described the child’s written account as heartbreaking and said the time between the statement and Moore’s arrest raises questions about the school’s response. Moore was arrested in January and indicted on multiple counts of indecency with a child and sexual assault of a child. Police made the arrest after a second student accused him of touching her during classroom reading time. An arrest affidavit says the alleged incident involving that student took place in October. The family said in a statement that the alleged abuse continues to affect their son and has changed his life. The lawsuit’s claims against the school and Hill remain allegations, not findings of fact. North Texas Collegiate Academy’s superintendent said the school had just been notified of the lawsuit and could not comment on pending litigation, adding that it would respond through legal channels. Hill remains listed as the school’s principal. The school did not provide a separate response, according to the report. Moore’s criminal case and the family’s civil lawsuit are separate proceedings. An attorney representing Moore said in January that the charges were serious but urged the public to withhold judgment while the evidence is developed.
