The teen was charged with sexually assaulting a teen named in the suit as K.S. at the pool. Villegas corroborated the claim, saying she was there. The boy was fired.

But in a tape-recorded interview with school officials in 2017, the suit claims K.S. the sex assault was fabricated.

“I just don’t like him,” K.S. told officials. “I just don’t like to hear him talk. … I don’t like to look at him.”

The interview was obtained by the boy’s lawyer, Craig Fishman. Other highlights:

— Told pals she “would do anything to get T.F. expelled.”

— He was eventually charged in juvie court with indecent assault and two counts of harassment.

— In March, another girl known as C.S. told a guidance counsellor T.F. had walked into her home sexually assaulted her. Allegations were supported by two other girls.

— In April, T.F. was charged with indecent assault, criminal trespass, and simple assault.

— At school, a student put masking tape on his back with the word, “PREDATOR.”

The suit charges that the teen was damaged by “gender bias” from school officials and the D.A.’s office — even after learning the allegations were false.

“[The school board and D.A.] did not take any action against the females involved,” Fishman told the Tribune-Review.

“(T.F.) was basically being tortured in school by the other students and investigators, but the administration was only focused on protecting the girls who were lying.”

He added: “Once the allegations were proven false, they really didn’t care one bit about T.F. and there has been absolutely no repercussions against the girls.”

In May, three of the girls came clean and admitted they had lied.

Fishman said the D.A. has refused to press charges against Villegas and the other girls due to “gender-based discrimination”.
