(Peoria, Illinois) To refresh readers' memories, Gina Purvis is the former high school biology teacher who was tried and acquitted of criminal sexual assault. She had been accused of mixing it up with a 15-year-old student.

Apparently, the ordeal of the investigation and trial has soured Gina Purvis to the extent that she has now filed suit in U.S. District Court, alleging that her civil rights were violated. The lawsuit claims that the school board, former superintendent Daniel Oest, principal Patricia Lunn, and dean of students Gary Vicini did not follow procedures in her case. The city of Spring Valley and police chief Douglas Bernabei are also named in the lawsuit which seeks $40 million in damages.
