Then a seventh-grader, she was groomed by Muhammad and trained to follow his rules and to deny any suspicions if questioned, Fritz said. The sexual abuse occurred before, during and after school, he said.His client wept and dabbed her eyes with tissues. Her husband and daughter sat in a row behind her. Fritz said she suffers from post-traumatic distress disorder.
Even after filing the lawsuit, the former student, now 45 and married with three children, continued to contact Muhammad, Anderson said. In recent months, she also liked his Facebook posts, she said. Fritz denied his client, who was raised as a Muslim, was married to Muhammad. According to a pre-trial deposition, the former student said she engaged in a threesome with Muhammad and one of his wives.
Muhammad complimented the girl and told her that she was beautiful, Fritz said. He would get her excused from class, along with two friends, and have them report to his classroom to mark papers and clean his blackboard, he said.
