WALDOBORO, Maine (AP) A former Maine high school principal is being accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a female student in a recent lawsuit.

The Bangor Daily News reports the now 19-year-old woman filed a lawsuit Friday against the former principal at Medomak Valley High School, and the school’s social worker.

The lawsuit alleges the former principal sent the then 16-year-old student sexually suggestive text messages, bought her a car and repeatedly asked her to move in with him.

He resigned from his position in December 2017 shortly after police’s investigation into a possible inappropriate relationship between a staff member and student came up empty.
