Letter of Reference Gives Rise to Claim of State-Created Danger

A school principal’s letter of reference that helped a pedophile secure a teaching job in 1975 has come back to haunt him. A federal judge has ruled that a West Virginia man who was allegedly molested more than two decades later may pursue a claim against the Pennsylvania school district under the “state-created danger” doctrine. The plaintiff claims he would never have been molested had the principal not written a letter that helped the man get a new teaching job.
