A second federal lawsuit against a local country club and former girls high school golf coach is now over.
According to federal court records, all parties in Jane Doe versus the Scotts Bluff Country Club and Michael Klein advised the court last month that all claims in the case have been settled.
Lawyers for the plaintiff have told KNEB News details of the settlement will not be released.
In the personal injury suit filed Feb. 2020, the second woman identified as Jane Doe in the complaint claims Michael Klein subjected her to sexual battery and assault for approximately nine months ending in July 2016, and caused intentional emotional distress with continual calls and texts, and leveraged his influence as the Scottsbluff Girls Golf coach against her best interests.
Shortly after the suit was filed, Scottsbluff Public Schools acknowledged a payment of more than $1.7 million to settle an injury claim from a former student.
Klein was convicted in 2017 on four counts of first degree sexual assault of a minor, and is serving a prison sentence of 24 to 36 years.
In 2019, one of his victims was awarded a judgement of $2.75 million against Klein and the Scottsbluff School District in the first such federal lawsuit.
