LA School's 'Kissing Club' Accused of Assault
6 Dec
Summary
- An eight-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted in a school bathroom.
- The alleged assault occurred as part of a student-run 'kissing club'.
- Parents sue the private school for negligence, fraud, and false advertising.
A lawsuit has been filed against Sierra Canyon School, a renowned Los Angeles private institution, by the parents of an eight-year-old girl. They allege their daughter was sexually assaulted in a school bathroom between 2023 and 2024, reportedly as part of a student-organized 'kissing club.' The suit details claims of ongoing bullying, harassment, and escalating sexual assault by older students.
The parents assert they alerted the school to their daughter's fear and discomfort, including avoiding the bathroom due to bullying. However, they claim no adequate action was taken to protect her. The lawsuit further alleges that school officials became aware of the 'kissing club' but failed to intervene effectively.
Accusations against Sierra Canyon include negligence, fraud, and false advertising, stemming from their alleged failure to maintain a safe, family-like environment as promised. The family is seeking unspecified damages and has requested a jury trial. The next court hearing is scheduled for July 28.
