CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A third woman is suing New Hampshire's Winnisquam Regional School District, saying she was sexually abused by a guidance counselor more than three decades ago.
Forty-9-year-old Joan Barnum of Holderness alleges she was molested as a student several years before different lawsuits allege a teacher abused two other students.
Her lawyer, Peter Hutchins, says Barnum decided to sue after she heard about lawsuits filed against the district last month by two women who said they were molested repeatedly by a former teacher at the same school, Winnisquam Regional High School.
Hutchins said the link between the women's lawsuits is that the school's administrators were the same.
Potential legal fees have worried the school board, which put a temporary freeze on the district's budget.
