Public schools can be a dangerous place when authority figures act as predators. If you or a loved one suffered sexual abuse as a student in a Sacramento public school, you can pursue justice through the civil legal system.
Greenberg Gross LLP fights for survivors. A Sacramento public school sexual abuse lawyer from our firm will work to hold liable parties accountable.
Who Is Legally Responsible for Sexual Abuse in a Sacramento Public School?
The public school, school district, and certain individuals may be legally responsible when sexual abuse happens. An attorney from our firm will review your case to identify all liable parties.
Depending on the circumstances of your or your loved one’s abuse, we may name as defendants:
- A teacher who committed sexual abuse
- An administrator who committed or failed to detect sexual abuse
- The school district
- Individuals employed within or outside the public school system who perpetrated, or failed to stop, abuse of a public school student
Each case presents us with unique circumstances. Our team will identify all parties with legal liability for the sexual abuse in question.
Circumstances That May Warrant a Lawsuit Against Liable Parties
The sexual abuse in question did not have to occur in the school. You may choose to pursue legal action for:
- Attempted or completed sexual contact on school grounds by an administrator, teacher, or another public school employee
- Attempted or completed sexual contact by a public school employee outside of school grounds
- Online advances by a public school employee toward a student
- Any other sexual advance, written, spoken, or physical, by a public school employee towards a student
Note that high school students are generally minors. Any sexual contact between a teacher or administrator and a student is generally illegal.
