Miami Herald – A Cooper City Islamic school and mosque have agreed to a multi-million dollar legal settlement with three former students who say a teacher sexually abused them over a decade ago.
A lawsuit filed in Broward County Circuit Court in 2014 alleged Nur-Ul-Islam Academy and mosque were negligent as a teacher named Tariq Ahmad, now 39, sexually abused at least three female students in their young teens from about 2004 to 2008. The women, who are now all in their mid- to late-20s, will benefit from the undisclosed amount, according to their lawyer, Scott Mager.
