`

`
`the
`
`following
`
`under
`
`penalty
`
`of perjury:
`
`1.
`
`I am the
`
`plaintiff
`
`in
`
`the
`
`above-titled
`
`action,
`
`and
`
`I
`
`am proceeding
`
`under
`
`the
`
`pseudonym
`
`of AB 511 Doe. My
`
`legal
`
`name
`
`is
`
`2.
`
`I
`
`recall
`
`that
`
`at
`
`the
`
`start
`
`of my
`
`fifth-grade
`
`year,
`
`Mr.
`
`Houseman
`
`would
`
`stand
`
`in the
`
`hallway
`
`between
`
`classes
`
`or
`
`during
`
`the
`
`A.M.
`
`class
`
`change
`
`and
`
`touch
`
`only
`
`male
`
`students
`
`students'
`
`inappropriately.
`
`For
`
`example.
`
`he would
`
`grab
`
`and
`
`touch
`
`only
`
`male
`
`genital
`
`areas
`
`as they
`
`walked
`
`by while
`
`laughing
`
`and making
`
`a "kissy
`
`face".
`
`He would
`
`also
`
`routinely
`
`hug
`
`and
`
`put
`
`his
`
`arm around
`
`the
`
`neck
`
`and
`
`shoulder
`
`of only
`
`little
`
`boys
`
`for
`
`long
`
`periods
`
`of
`
`time.
`
`He would
`
`do this
`
`while
`
`other
`
`teachers,
`
`students
`
`and
`
`school
`
`staff
`
`were
`
`in the
`
`hallway.

`
`As
`
`I previously
`
`testified,
`
`Mr.
`
`Houseman
`
`was
`
`abusing
`
`me behind
`
`his
`
`desk
`
`when
`
`another
`
`teacher,
`
`Ruth
`
`Bane,
`
`walked
`
`in. This
`
`occurred
`
`shortly
`
`after
`
`he
`
`began
`
`abusing
`

`
`fifth-grade
`
`school
`
`year,
`
`but
`
`I am unclear
`
`on
`
`the
`
`exact
`
`date.
`
`At
`
`the
`
`time
`
`of Mr.
`
`Housman's
`
`abuse
`
`in the
`
`classroom
`
`that
`
`day,
`
`I was
`
`standing,
`
`but my entire
`
`body
`
`was
`
`not
`
`blocking
`
`Mr.
`
`Houseman's
`
`body
`
`from
`
`the
`
`door
`
`as
`
`1 was much
`
`smaller
`
`than
`
`he was.
`
`Mr.
`
`Houseman
`
`was
`
`also
`
`positioned
`
`perpendicular
`
`to me.
`
`facing
`
`the
`
`back
`
`wall.
`
`while
`
`I was
`
`to the
`
`side
`
`of
`
`him.
`
`My
`
`back
`
`was
`
`to the
`
`door
`
`at an
`
`angle
`
`with
`
`my
`
`len
`
`side
`
`slightly
`
`closer
`
`to
`
`the
`
`door
`
`than my
`
`right.
`
`His
`
`pants
`
`were
`
`unzipped,
`
`and Mr.
`
`Houseman
`
`had
`
`placed
`
`my hand
`
`in his
`
`pants.
`
`4.
`
`I am confident
`
`Ms.
`
`Bane
`
`knew
`
`Mr.
`
`Houseman
`
`was
`
`being
`
`inappropriate
`
`with me at
`
`the
`
`time
`
`she walked
`
`in
`
`because
`
`when
`
`she walked
`
`in.
`
`she
`
`let
`
`out
`
`a loud
`
`gasp.
`
`I heard
`
`her
`
`and
`
`turned
`
`around
`
`by
`
`spinning
`
`to the
`
`left
`
`and
`
`stepping
`
`back.
`
`While
`
`I believe
`
`my hand
`
`came
`
`off
`
`of his
`
`lap when
`
`I
`
`turned
`
`and
`
`stepped
`
`back, my
`
`hand
`
`was
`
`actually
`
`inside
`
`his
`
`unzipped
`
`pants
`
`when
`
`Ms.
`
`Bane
`
`entered
`
`the
`
`room,
`
`and
`
`it could
`
`not
`
`off
`
`and
`
`easily.
`
`Mr.
`
`Houseman's
`
`simply
`
`slip
`
`quickly
`
`lap
`
`with
`
`my
`
`hand
`
`being
`
`removed
`
`from
`
`his
`
`unzipped
`
`pants
`
`would
`
`have
`
`been
`
`visible
`
`to Ms.
`
`Bane
`
`when
`
`I began
`
`turning
`
`to the
`
`left
`
`and
`
`stepping
`
`back.
`
`even
`
`if
`
`it was
`
`not
`
`fully
`
`visible
`
`to her
`
`before.
`
`5.
`
`There
`
`was
`
`an uncomfortable
`
`pause
`
`before
`
`she
`
`started
`
`speaking,
`
`during
`
`which
`
`Mr.
`
`Houseman
`
`rotated
`
`his
`
`chair
`
`to turn
`
`his
`
`back
`
`to the door
`
`and
`
`clearly
`
`was
`
`either
`
`adjusting
`
`his
`
`pants
`
`or zipping
`
`them
`
`up.
`
`She was
`
`stumbling
`
`over
`
`her words
`
`as if she did
`
`not
`
`know
`
`what
`
`to say.
`
`They
`
`the
`
`room.
`
`had
`
`a very
`
`short
`
`conversation
`
`before
`
`she quickly
`
`left
`
`6.
`
`Mr.
`
`Houseman
`
`continued
`
`to
`
`abuse
`
`me
`
`after
`
`this
`
`incident
`
`and
`
`throughout
`
`the
`
`remainder
`
`of
`
`the
`
`school
`
`year.
`
`7.
`
`During
`
`the
`
`fifth-grade
`
`school
`
`year,
`
`Mr.
`
`Houseman
`
`would
`
`also
`
`ask me to come
`
`to
`
`the
`
`school
`
`early
`
`where
`
`he then
`
`abused
`
`me in his
`
`classroom.
`
`I would
`
`go to
`
`the
`
`front
`
`door
`
`of
`
`the
`
`school
`
`building,
`
`and
`
`the janitor
`
`Gary Williams
`
`would
`
`let me
`
`into
`
`the
`
`school
`
`so I could
`
`go to Mr.
`
`Houseman's
`
`classroom.
`
`This
`
`happened
`
`multiple
`
`times
`
`per week
`
`during
`
`the
`
`school
`
`year.
