While he was gathering up supplies, Sirotnak came up from behind and stuck his hands down the boy's pants and underwear and fondled and grabbed his penis and testicles, the lawsuit says, adding that the teacher said, “You’re such a big boy.” One of the lawsuit was filed by a 66-year-old man who now lives in Florida and accuses Sirotnak of grooming and manipulating him in the 1960s at Clinton Middle School.Īccording to the complaint, Sirotnak sent the student when he was 12 into a supply closet. It was not clear from the lawsuits whether the alleged crimes were ever reported to police or prosecutors but some of the victims said school officials were informed of the accusations. New Jersey 101.5 did not know Wednesday whether Sirotnak had an attorney. Each lawsuit seeks $50 million in punitive damages from the district.
