A South Florida teen abused by her former teacher is taking legal action against the school.

Back in June 2013, former Cardinal Gibbons High School teacher, John Farrel, was accused of sexually abusing a 16-year-old girl.

Earlier this year, he was convicted of 20 counts of unlawful sexual activity and sentenced to 20 months in state prison.

Now, the victim is taking action against the school. Her attorneys filed a lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Miami and Cardinal Gibbons High School, Tuesday, believing the school should have protected the student.

The Archdiocese has since released a statement reading: "Any allegation of sexual misconduct or abuse is reported to law enforcement officials, pastoral and psychological care is offered to an alleged victim and the ADOM pledges full cooperation with the investigation."
