SPRINGFIELD — A federal judge ruled last week that a woman who said she was physically and sexually assaulted in 2020 at the hands of a U.S. Marine Corps recruiter based in Springfield is blocked from suing the government over the incident.

The woman’s suit, filed in 2023 in California before it was transferred to Massachusetts, said Marines at Recruiting Station Springfield knew that she was staying at military recruiter Sgt. Sumon Bagui’s apartment while she was applying to the Marine Corps, but they failed to ensure her recruitment complied with policy. Furthermore, the suit claimed Bagui’s supervisors and colleagues allowed her to return to his apartment after he threw her down at a party.
