California School Sexual Abuse Lawsuits

With its new statute of limitations, California has become an epicenter for school sexual abuse lawsuits. A large percentage of landmark school sex abuse settlements are coming from California.

If you were sexually abused by a teacher, coach, counselor, administrator, volunteer, contractor, or another student, you may have a civil claim against not only the predator who abused you, but the school and other organizations.

So many victims do not bring claims because they think the bar is higher than it is. The biggest impediment we see is the assumption that you needed to report the crime at the time or even get a criminal conviction. Nothing could be further from the truth. You could still have a case if the sexual abuse was never reported to police, prosecutors declined to file charges, or the school insisted that it could not substantiate your complaint.

Connecticut Sexual Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

If you were the victim of sexual abuse or assault, either as a child or an adult, you may have the right to bring a civil lawsuit against the person who abused you and, in many cases, a school, church, company, treatment center, government agency, or other organization that failed to protect you.

That second part is where the real civil case is.

The abuser is responsible for the abuse. No question. But what did the adults around that person know? Were there earlier complaints? Did a school quietly move an employee instead of investigating? Did DCF have information that should have triggered intervention? Did an organization put its reputation ahead of the child it was supposed to protect?

Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Uber is defending thousands of sexual assault lawsuits brought by passengers who say they were sexually assaulted by Uber drivers. Plaintiffs are asking what Uber knew about the risk of sexual assault, how it screened drivers, what happened when complaints came in, and whether the company could have done more to keep dangerous drivers off the platform. In the most recent $8.5 million verdict, jurors confirmed what we have been saying all along.

Federal cases have been consolidated in In re: Uber Technologies Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation, MDL No. 3084, in the Northern District of California. In an MDL, each survivor still has her own lawsuit and her own damages.

By September 2026, more than 3,000 cases were pending in the federal MDL, with additional claims proceeding in California state court. The next trial is October 7, 2026.

Los Angeles School Sexual Abuse Lawsuits and Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

A Los Angeles school sexual abuse case usually begins with the person who committed the abuse. The next step is figuring out what the adults in charge knew (or should have known).

Most predators in a school setting do much of their legwork in plain sight. A teacher or coach who texts students privately, drives them places, often that are not home, or has one-on-one meetings behind a closed door. One principal may have known about a boundary violation while the district office held a separate complaint from another campus.

Sometimes this is innocent. Teachers do take a strong interest in their students and can show signs of being a predator when they are not. So what is a school to do? Pay attention. See what is there to be seen and follow up on it. What our lawyers see way too often in these cases is, “That’s Joe, he is just like that,” without any further review and without taking signs of predator behavior to higher authority.

Roblox Child Sex Abuse Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

A growing number of families are filing Roblox child exploitation lawsuits after predators allegedly used the platform to groom, manipulate, or gain access to minors. Roblox spent years branding itself as a safe place for children to create and play. Plaintiffs contend that its safety systems did not match that promise.

Federal lawsuits filed around the country allege that Roblox failed to protect minors from foreseeable exploitation and grooming risks. Most of these individual cases are now coordinated in the Roblox MDL in the Northern District of California, Case No. 25-md-03166-RS, before Chief Judge Richard Seeborg.

The core allegations are straightforward. Families claim Roblox failed to enforce meaningful barriers between adults and children and profited from design choices that kept young users engaged while leaving them vulnerable. Many complaints describe the same pattern: a predator initiates contact through in-game chat or messaging, builds trust, and then moves the conversation to Discord, Snapchat, or another outside service where the exploitation escalates.
