COVINGTON, Ky. -- A lawsuit alleges a female student at a Catholic elementary school was sexually assaulted last year by a classmate.

The suit, filed Tuesday in Kenton Circuit Court, alleges the girl was bullied from January 2008 until she was sexually assaulted May 9.

It alleges all the incidents occurred during school hours and on school grounds or at school-sponsored events.

The suit asks for $250,000 in damages from St. Joseph Elementary School in Crescent Springs and the Covington Diocese to pay for educational and psychological services for the girl, who was not named.

Covington Diocese spokesman Tim Fitzgerald said he had not heard of the suit and declined to comment.
