A former Robbinsdale school principal has been accused of sexually assaulting a student who was living in her home during many of his teen years, KSTP reports.
According to the criminal complaint, the victim, who is now an adult, moved into 67-year-old Mary Lynn Donaldson’s home when he was in his early teens while attending the school where Donaldson worked.
KSTP, citing the criminal complaint, says the victim reported that the sexual abuse happened multiple times per week, and that Donaldson bribed him not to tell anyone about the abuse.
A current employee at the Robbinsdale school told detectives that the victim was known to be Donaldson’s favorite student.
Donaldson is charged with first-degree and third degree criminal sexual conduct.
