Baltimore schools sued by former students alleging the system protected a predatory teacher
June 2, 2025
Three women are suing Baltimore’s public school system, alleging they were sexually abused by a special education teacher decades ago. The plaintiffs accuse administrators of failing to protect students from the teacher’s predatory behavior. Their attorneys say school officials knew about the abuse and allowed it to continue. They say the teacher, Alvin Hunt, would lure students to his house for tutoring. A spokesperson for the school system declined to comment on the lawsuits but confirmed that Hunt worked as a teacher from 1975 until his retirement in 2005, then returned as a substitute from 2010 to 2019. Attempts to reach Hunt were unsuccessful.
