Legal Help for Survivors of School Sexual Abuse

Students have the right to feel safe at school. When educators, coaches, or staff violate that trust—or when school districts fail to act—survivors and their families deserve justice.

Sexual abuse cases involving schools are complex and often involve:

• Abuse by teachers, coaches, or school staff
• Grooming or inappropriate relationships with students
• Failure to report abuse as required by law
• Institutional cover-ups or mishandling of complaints
• Emotional trauma with long-term consequences
  
  

You should not have to navigate this alone. Our team provides compassionate, confidential support while aggressively pursuing accountability.

Singleton Schreiber offers:

• Confidential case evaluations
• Trauma-informed legal representation

What the Lawsuit Alleges

The California Department of Justice investigation into El Monte Union High School District found widespread failures in how the district handled reports of sexual misconduct.

Allegations and findings include:

• Failure to Properly Respond to Complaints – Reports of sexual harassment and abuse were not handled in compliance with state and federal law
• Inadequate Reporting and Tracking Systems – The district lacked proper systems to document and respond to complaints
• Insufficient Training and Oversight – Staff were not adequately trained to handle or report abuse
• Systemic Issues Over Time – The investigation reviewed complaints spanning multiple years, suggesting ongoing failures
  
  

As part of the settlement, the district is now subject to court oversight and required to implement reforms aimed at protecting students. However, these reforms do not compensate survivors for the harm they have suffered. Civil lawsuits may allow survivors to seek justice and financial recovery.

You May Be Eligible to File a Claim

You may qualify for a sexual abuse lawsuit if you:

• Were sexually abused, assaulted, or harassed by a teacher, coach, or staff member
• Reported misconduct that was ignored, mishandled, or covered up
• Experienced grooming or inappropriate conduct while a student
• Suffered emotional distress, trauma, or long-term harm
• Attended an El Monte Union High School (including Rosemead High School or others in the district)
  
  

Survivors may still have legal options even if the abuse occurred years ago.

Why Taking Action Matters

Coming forward is never easy. Many survivors remain silent for years due to fear, shame, or lack of support. But holding institutions accountable can:

• Help you seek justice and closure
• Prevent future harm to other students
• Expose systemic failures
• Provide financial resources for recovery and support
  
  

You deserve to be heard—and you deserve accountability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still file a lawsuit if the abuse happened years ago?

Possibly. California has extended statutes of limitation for childhood sexual abuse cases, allowing many survivors to come forward years later. An attorney can evaluate your specific situation.

What if I never reported the abuse at the time?

You can still have a case. Many survivors do not report abuse immediately, and that does not prevent you from pursuing legal action.

What compensation may be available?

Survivors may be entitled to compensation for emotional distress, therapy costs, medical treatment, and other damages related to the abuse and its long-term effects.
