Mother of alleged victim in Brentwood Academy case counter sues parent who filed $1.5 million defamation lawsuit

The mother of a boy who was allegedly sexually assaulted at Brentwood Academy has filed a counter lawsuit against the mother of a boy accused of participating in the assaults.
...
After a mother of one of the four boys accused in the assaults filed a defamation lawsuit against Jane Doe in September, Jane Doe filed an answer and counterclaim this week against the mother, alleging that the mother abused the judicial process by revealing Jane Doe's name and "compromising the anonymity of her child."

"Whereas (Jane Doe) did not utilize plaintiff's name in a judicial proceeding, and plaintiff and her child were not subjected to any sexual assault, plaintiff has purposefully used defendant's full name, knowing and intending that it would reveal the identity of a minor child in a matter involving sexual assault," the counter claim says.
