Yes, you can make a federal case regarding alleged sexual abuse in pre-kindergarten

Abstract

In Doe v. Lorena Indep. Sch. Dist. (May 20, 2024), the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco Division grappled with a case involving a pre-kindergarten student identified as Jane Doe (Doe). Doe and another student, identified as “Student A” attended school in the Lorena Independent School District. Jeffrey C. Manske, a U.S. Magistrate Judge, recommended that the Lorena Independent School District’s Motion for Partial Dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6) be denied. The facts underlying the case are shocking and unsettling, involving allegations of sexual abuse of two little girls by a substitute teacher. (from Introduction)
