her bed. When staff members tried to pull her off, her right arm "was badly and perhaps irreparably broken, and its main nerve severely damaged," the lawsuit states. The family also claims the teenage girl's constitutional rights were violated and she was falsely imprisoned, as well as alleging conspiracy and fraud. In 2009, Oregon state investigators stated that they had found nine cases of abuse and neglect at Mount Bachelor Academy, and the school was ordered to close. Aspen denied the allegations, and after a legal settlement the findings were modified to read that "the agency had reasonable cause to believe that abuse or neglect occurred at the school". In 2008, a 16-year-old girl enrolled at the Bromley Brook School became involved in a sexual relationship with a teacher. The 40-year-old teacher subsequently pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a minor. In 2004, a 14-year-old boy died at Aspen's Lone State Expeditions wilderness program. During the program, the boy and his group had hiked several miles in 90-degree weather. In 2006, a wrongful death lawsuit was brought against Aspen Education Group over the incident. Aspen later settled the case out of court.
