Minor Coe's relationship with Regan, a teacher and basketball coach employed by the Eastport-South Manor Central School District (Eastport), began in 1997 and was "fully established" in 2011 when Regan persuaded Coe to accompany him to a basketball game in New York City, caused Coe to become intoxicated, and manipulated Coe to perform an oral sex. Regan also allegedly overbore Coe's will and manipulated her into having sex with him at least three times. Under New York's Child Victims Act Coe sued Regan 17 years after their time together at Eastport ended. Invoking 42 USC §1983, Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, and New York law Coe alleged that Eastport and various Eastport officials were liable for Regan's sexual abuse and harassment of her while she was a minor student. The court dismissed Coe's federal claims against Regan and his Eastport codefendants as time-barred under otherwise applicable statutes of limitations, and declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over her state law-based claims. It determined the CVA does not alter the statutes of limitations on causes of action arising under federal law.
