Teacher Sexual Abuse
Seeking justice for students who suffered sexual abuse by teachers, coaches, counselors, and other school personnel.
Case Overview
Schools are entrusted with the safety and education of children, yet thousands of students have been sexually abused by teachers, coaches, and other school employees. These educators abused their positions of authority and the trust placed in them by students and families.
Investigations have revealed that school systems often failed to conduct proper background checks, ignored warning signs, and even allowed known abusers to quietly resign and move to other districts—a practice known as "passing the trash."
Legal actions hold both individual abusers and the school districts that enabled them accountable for failing to protect students in their care.
