In the three years since Pennsylvania adopted a 10th exception to the Political Subdivision Tort Claims Act (PSTCA), 42 Pa.C.S.A. Section 8522(b)(10), which recognizes claims of "sexual abuse" as an exclusion to the sovereign immunity typically afforded to political subdivisions in negligence cases, courts have seen an increase in litigation involving sexual abuse of school students.
