Fourteen people claimed they were sexually abused by a former wrestling coach at John H. Francis Polytechnic High School in Sun Valley.
A $52 million settlement has been reached in a consolidated lawsuit brought against the Los Angeles Unified School District in which multiple plaintiffs alleged they were sexually abused by a former wrestling coach at John H. Francis Polytechnic High School in Sun Valley, attorneys announced Wednesday.
"The size of this settlement highlights the tremendous harm done to our clients by Terry Gillard and the abject failure of LAUSD to protect the students at Francis Polytechnic High School from this truly deranged predator," plaintiffs' attorney Morgan Stewart said."Our lawsuit also exposed LAUSD's Student Safety Investigation Team as a fraud and a public relations gimmick."The consolidated proceedings involved 14 victims of abuse from 2014- 17.
The lawsuits alleged the LAUSD and the Boys & Girls Club of San Fernando Valley had prior knowledge of Gillard's misconduct and should have removed him from having contact with children. The plaintiffs' attorneys alleged that LAUSD administrators forbade the SSIT from fully investigating claims of misconduct and further preclude them from providing their opinions on credibility or conclusions as to alleged abusers that they investigate. This effectively rendered the entire purpose of any investigation as worthless, according to the plaintiffs' attorneys.
