PITTSBURGH — An amended lawsuit related to false sexual assault allegations against a Zelienople boy could be filed in the next few weeks.

Attorneys for the involved parties will soon have a chance to review the complete investigation file from the Butler County District Attorney's Office. The original lawsuit filed last fall by Alecia and Michael Flood Jr. claims their minor son, T.F., suffered physical torment and psychological trauma as a result of false sexual assault allegations. The Floods allege their son was arrested, wrongfully prosecuted, placed on probation, incarcerated, harassed and defamed in a case of gender-based discrimination as a result of the claims.

The suit names Meghan Villegas and minors K.S., C.S., E.S. and H.R.; their parents, George Villegas Jr., Pam Villegas, David and Christy Sherk, David and Christine Seaman, Cris and Kimberly Salancy and David and Lynn Reina; the Seneca Valley School District; Butler County; and the Butler County District Attorney's Office as defendants.

During oral arguments last month, U.S. District Court Judge Mark Hornak advised the Floods' attorney, Craig Fishman, to amend the complaint to include only the individuals or entities against which he felt he had sufficient evidence. Hornak stipulated that Fishman had two weeks from the time of the filing of the transcript of the April 5 hearing to create a draft that will then be sent to attorneys for all defendants included in the revised complaint.

Fishman must then arrange for a sit-down meeting with all involved attorneys and review the complaint to determine if sufficient evidence exists to proceed. He may then file the amendment with the court two weeks later, after which the defense has 30 days to respond.

According to court documents, the official transcript was filed Tuesday.

Also filed Tuesday was an approved motion allowing attorneys to review the district attorney's investigative file, including recorded interviews with the girls as well as T.F.'s school file. The matter was the subject of several motions aiming to protect the release of the information, as attorneys for all parties said they were concerned about that sensitive information being disseminated if released.

During last month's hearing, Hornak indicated an agreement could be reached to allow parties to review the documents and videos in a secure location without that information being taken off the premises. The motion filed Tuesday stipulates the information must remain confidential and can only be reviewed by counsel of record for the involved parties at the district attorney's office.
