Lawsuit Claims Sex Abuse by Former ESU Official - Friday, February 13, 2009 at 11:31PM EST

EAST STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY- A civil lawsuit discloses the disturbing details of sexual abuse allegations against a high-ranking official at East Stroudsburg University.
The document includes sexual encounters between Isaac Sanders and six students from ESU. Sanders was the Vice President for University Advancement. He stopped working last fall when the accusations first emerged.

The students claim sanders made sexual advances at them and forced at least one victim to perform oral sex. He then allegedly sent the students threatening text messages and emails to stop them from reporting the harassment.

Students claim other high-ranking officials at the school knew about the abuse but covered it up.
