"It impacted me substantially," the man, who is not being identified, said.

He says the woman pursued him and when other school staff members caught them, they did not intervene.

The man says since then, he has struggled with substance abuse.

WBZ reached out to the Brooks School.

A spokesperson says the school is unaware of the suit.

They did say they intend to release a statement as soon as they have more information about the complaint.
