Controversial Allegations On Harding’s Daughter
On April 16, 2021, a news report from WCVB 5 came out with a report that said Harding’s daughter, Caitlin, was accused of sexual assault against one of her former students while teaching at Hudson middle school.
The claimed assault is from a decade ago, as per the report, and the 37-years-old pleaded not guilty to the charges. On response to the issue, Catilin’s attorney, Brad Bailey, said the allegations were false and further said the sudden rise of the accusation after ten years was questionable.
Furthermore, during her teaching years at Needham School, Caitlin was terminated because of her abusive romantic relationship with a teacher at the school, as reported. But, Catilin refused to accept the claim and sued Needham for their improper action.
However, the supreme court released her from the sexual assault case, ordering her to stay away from anyone below 18 and those involved in the case.
