Former Fenton student claims sexual abuse by teacher

A former Fenton High School student is suing the Bensenville school board, alleging she was sexually abused by a former teacher.

A federal lawsuit accuses the Fenton Community High School District 100 school board of allowing abuse by longtime teacher and track coach Michael Berago for more than a decade. Berago was fired from Fenton High School in March following a school-wide investigation into misconduct.

Criminal investigations are underway against Berago.
