Man sues to gain access to son

February 20, 2019, 12:57 pm

A registered sex offender who wants to be a part of his five-year-old son’s education is suing the Lancaster School District because he has been denied access to his son’s school.

The father, who filed the lawsuit under the alias John Doe, is permitted under state law to visit his son’s school for lawful business and with written permission by the school principal, who must indicate the date or dates for which permission is granted.However, if the written permission is not signed by the chief administrative official of the school it is a misdemeanor for Doe to enter the school grounds.

Doe, who is 32 years old, wants to be actively involved in his kindergartner’s education.

Michelle Egberts, founder and executive director of AV-East Kern Sec­ond Chance, is assisting the parent with his case.According to Egberts, Doe was falsely accused of rape when he was 18 years old by a 14-year-old neighbor who had a crush on him. Doe was forced to accept a plea bargain and had to register as a sex offender.

Egberts said her client “wants to be every part of his son’s life.”

Egberts added there are more parents like Doe who have a child in the school district.“They have a right to their child’s education,” Egberts said, adding it is not fair to the children.

“There is so much that is not right,” Doe said. “It’s simple. There’s not much that is requested. I just want to be there for my son.”
