Another ex
Daniel Romain
Another former student from Evanston Township High School  has accused a now-retired theater director of molesting  him  in the 1980s.
 Daniel Romain  who attended the school from 1981 to 1985   filed suit Tuesday against former drama director Bruce Siewerth.
 Romain  said in the suit that  he  was a âshyâ freshman when  he  participated in a school production of âHamlet.â  Romain  claims that while dressed in  his  costume  which included tights  Siewerth pointed toward  his  crotch  told  Romain  that  he  was âpointing the wrong way â and then âbarreled towards Romain  puts  his  hands down Romainâs tights  placed  his  hands upon Romainâs penis  and âre-arrangedâ him â the lawsuit states.
The suit also claims Siewerth engaged in other âinappropriateâ behavior with male students  such as requiring them to change into costume in front of  him   wrestling with them  spanking them on their birthdays and âhelping male students get ready â¦ by tucking in their shirt  which gave  him  an opportunity to touch or graze their buttocks or genitalia.â
The school gave Siewerth ânear total autonomy â the suit alleged  by providing the private theater and letting  him  take overnight trips with students to see plays in New York.
 Romain  could not be reached Wednesday.  His  mother  Adina Romain  said her son had not reported any abuse to her or her husband when he was in school  but informed her of his claims recently after discussing it with other students at a recent school reunion.
