A third lawsuit has been filed in connection with a child pornography scandal at an elementary school in Prince George County, Maryland. The lawsuit alleges that a teacher at Judge Sylvania W. Woods Elementary School ignored reports from a student that he had been sexually abused by a school volunteer. The 22-year-old volunteer is facing 13 federal charges of sexual exploitation of a minor to produce child pornography. He is also facing separate charges by Prince George County. He admitted to filming and directing children to perform sexual acts on him and each other. According to authorities, there have been 17 victims of sexual abuse discovered thus far.

Lawyers for patients suing Johnson & Johnson and Bayer over the safety of the anticlotting drug Xarelto claim that a letter published in The New England Journal of Medicine and written primarily by researchers at Duke University left out critical laboratory data. They claim the companies were complicit by staying silent, helping deceive the editors while the companies were in the midst of providing the very same data to regulators in the United States and Europe.

Wrongful Death

Parents of Teen Found Dead in Gym Mat Drop Lawsuits

The parents of a teenager whose body was found in a rolled-up gym mat have dropped their lawsuit alleging that the boy was murdered. The parents of the Georgia teen filed two lawsuits alleging that the boy was murdered by the son of an FBI agent and that law enforcement conspired to cover up the incident. After the boy's body was discovered at Lowndes High in Valdosta in January 2013, officials determined that he died after becoming stuck in the mat while reaching for a pair of sneakers. Both of the lawsuits were recently withdrawn, however, the attorney for the plaintiffs stated that dropping the lawsuits was strategic and that the matter would be revisited.
