Family Files Lawsuit Alleging 8-Year-Old Was Assaulted by Older Students at L.A. Private School
A Los Angeles family has filed a lawsuit against Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, alleging that their 8-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted by older students on campus.
According to the complaint, the parents claim their child was victimized in a series of incidents connected to what was described as a “kissing club” taking place in campus bathrooms. The family says they became aware of the situation after noticing changes in their daughter’s behavior and speaking with her about what occurred.
Details From the Lawsuit
The lawsuit alleges:
- The child was involved in inappropriate interactions initiated by older students
- The incidents reportedly occurred during school hours in unsupervised areas
- The family believes the school failed to provide adequate supervision and protection
At this stage, all claims remain allegations, and no findings have been made by a court.
Response From Sierra Canyon School
As of now, Sierra Canyon has not publicly commented on the lawsuit. In similar cases, schools often state that they cannot discuss ongoing legal matters involving minors but emphasize their commitment to student safety.
Broader Context
Incidents involving alleged misconduct among students raise ongoing concerns about:
- campus supervision
- school safety protocols
- reporting systems
- staff training
- communication with families
Experts note that schools across the country continue to face growing pressure to strengthen protections and ensure a safe learning environment for all students.
What Happens Next
The lawsuit will move through the civil court process, where both sides will have the opportunity to present evidence and testimony. Further details are likely to emerge as legal proceedings continue.

Cases involving children require sensitivity and careful reporting.
