The San Ysidro School District and many of its employees are being sued in connection with the alleged molestation of a preschool student .

NBC 7 reported on criminal charges filed in connection with this case against Sunset Elementary School teacher assistant Jaime Godinez last month and has since learned the lawyers representing the minor have filed a civil suit.

Godinez is charged with two counts of lewd behavior with a preschooler.

The recently filed civil suit identifies the victim as a girl born in June of 2020. The preschooler was allegedly molested on Jan. 15 during a nap period. She was just 4 at the time.

“We want transparency, and we want them to be held accountable,” district parent Roxane Palestino told NBC 7 after the teacher's aide was arrested.
