At oral arguments Thursday before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, counsel for a high school student who alleges she was sexually assaulted on school grounds argued that her Title IX suit against the school district should be reinstated.

According to her appellate brief, A.P., a 16-year-old student with an Individualized Education Program, told school officials that she had been choked, slammed against a wall and forced to give another student oral sex on campus. In response, she was placed on in-school suspension and prosecuted for violating the Fayette County School District’s Code of Conduct for engaging in “sexual impropriety.”
