Who Is Michal Paige Huck?
Michal Paige Huck, 45, a former Cheerleading coach and substitute teacher with River Valley High School in Bidwell, Ohio, was arrested for sexually assaulting teenagers ages 13-16 between 2003 and 2016. According to the prosecutor on the case, David Kelley “The evidence gathered so far paints a grim picture of a grown woman who used her position as a trusted adult and mentor to take advantage of these boys.”
Huck is charged with six counts of third-degree unlawful sexual misconduct with a minor. The allegations center around the wrestling team her husband coached then.
Given Huck’s exposure to children as a coach and teacher, there is a high likelihood of other victims.
We realize how scary disclosing these types of crimes can be. You are not alone.

How Can A Civil Lawsuit Help Victims Seek Justice For The Trauma They May Have Experienced By Michal Paige Huck?
There are many misunderstandings about why a survivor of sexual abuse would choose to file a civil lawsuit. Child sexual abuse takes away so much from the survivors and families impacted. Our society still struggles to find ways to repair the harm done by individual perpetrators and institutions that have covered up child sexual abuse.
Filing a civil case can be an essential step for survivors and their families in their journey to slowly rebuild their lives and create pathways to healing. Motivation for filing a civil suit is questioned and unfairly stereotyped as “all about money.” Filing a civil lawsuit can cast survivors as “money hungry” and is weaponized to shame and blame them even more. This couldn’t be further from the truth for survivors of child sexual abuse. The civil justice system offers victims more than just monetary benefits. It gives survivors access to justice, validation, exposure, confrontation, and ultimately some resolution. The resolution allows survivors of sexual abuse to understand and process what happened and create a new path forward without confusion, questions, and fear.
