The controversy over ex-Detroit Council President Charles Pugh's questionable relations with public school students continues to percolate.
The latest: Ann Zaniewski of the Detroit Free Press reports that school board members have filed a federal complaint with the Justice Department, alleging that emergency managers appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder to oversee Detroit Public Schools repeatedly ignored warnings about Pugh being allowed to mentor teen boys.
The complaint also alleges that the emergency managers stripped the school district of its civil rights, the Freep reports.
Pugh is currently the subject of a lawsuit filed by a former student he mentored. The student has alleged that Pugh offered him cash and gifts in hopes of having sex. The lawsuit filings include Pugh's text messages discussing oral sex with the student and his obsession about getting the student to make a video of himself masturbating in exchange for money.
