DORCHESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - A student from the Henderson Inclusion School in Dorchester is facing charges in court Wednesday for attacking a school principal in November.
According to investigators, Laurette LeRouge repeatedly punched Principle Patricia Lampron in the head, knocking her unconscious for four minutes. The student also attacked another staff member, according to police.
The school closed for a few days after the incident.
LeRouge was arraigned as a “youthful offender,” charged with assault and battery on a person 60 or older causing serious bodily harm. While a judge ordered the teen’s face not to be shown, the court proceedings were open to the public as LeRouge could face a more severe sentence than a juvenile.
Lampron’s family appeared in court Wednesday without her not commenting on the case as it works its way through the system. LeRouge and her mother also made no comment.
LeRouge is out on bail with on-home confinement and ordered to stay away from the Henderson school and Lampron.
