Former Ben Davis Custodian Sues District, Alleges Coworker Raped Her Multiple Times

Overview

• A former custodian filed a complaint in Marion Superior Court accusing a coworker identified as T.W. of multiple forced sexual assaults that she says took place during late-night shifts in 2024.
• The suit describes a late June 2024 incident in which the complaint says the coworker forced her into an on-campus SUV, assaulted her for about 40 minutes and threatened her with a firearm, and it alleges a separate September 2024 attack after she felt 'weak and dizzy' and believes she was drugged.
• An Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report dated March 25, 2026 documents a delayed rape complaint covering alleged assaults from June to September 2024 and notes an officer was dispatched and the investigation remains open.
• The complaint says supervisors repeatedly dismissed early reports, continued scheduling the plaintiff with the accused, and did not pursue an immediate police investigation, and it adds that the accused was fired in fall 2025 after video of groping was shown to an assistant principal.
• The plaintiff is seeking a jury trial and damages for negligent hiring, supervision and retention, and the Metropolitan School District of Wayne Township says it has engaged legal counsel and will address the matter through the courts.
