Sue A Former School Teacher – Employer – Manager – Family Member Under California Law

When it comes to holding teachers, employers, managers and family members of sexual offenders accountable for the actions of someone who sexually assaulted you – there is a difficult argument but still an argument that if the person dies, yes, other people may be accountable for that person’s actions. It’s a lot to think about, isn’t it? But let’s unpack this logic together, shall we?

If there is a person who is a sexual predator and he is a school teacher, then the school needs to review any complaints against that individual and hold him accountable for his actions. This is much more than someone being a bad teacher, or unable to keep the students engaged. In fact, there are many instances where a teacher was a sexual predator and the school turned its head, and ignored the complaints of the teacher’s misconduct. In some cases, the teacher was actually just transferred to other schools within the district, if there were too many complaints about the professionalism of the teacher from the students, parents or even other people in the community.

What Happens If a Teacher or Worker Who Dies Is Never Punished for Perpetrating a Sexual Assault on Someone?

If the teacher or worker is not held accountable in his lifetime for a sexual assault he perpetrated during his lifetime, then his manager, supervisor or family members may be held accountable for his action after he dies. Schools, employers, organizations and businesses do not directly advocate allowing people who work for them to sexually assault people in the community. But if they don’t punish their employees during their lifetimes for their sexual offensive ways, then there may be an opportunity for the punishment to still be acted upon once the person leaves this earth.

For this reason, if a teacher is acting inappropriately with the students at the school, and sexually assaults a student, then the school has to investigate and work to prosecute the teacher. If this does not happen, and somehow the teacher gets off Scott-free, then yes, there may be the potential for an action against the school, employer, managers and family members of someone who has not owned up to his responsibility as a sexual assaulter during his lifetime.

Suing An Estate for a Former Sexual Assault If the Offender Has Died

Yes, you are able to sue the estate of a person who died but who formerly sexually assaulted you. You can pursue a criminal action or a civil action on the merits of your sexual assault claim. If there were no criminal charges filed in the past on the offender before his death, you can still bring an action and recover against the person’s estate.

If you are an adult when you were sexually assaulted by the offender, you will have a two-year statute of limitations for bringing a sexual assault case in California. If you were a minor at the time of the sexual assault, you have until your 40^th birthday, or 5 years from when you turn 18 years old or had a delayed discovery of the sexual assault.

Suing the Company Where He Worked for at the Time

If the person’s employer knew or should have known that the sexual offender would sexually assault you, then that employer possibly had notice that this offender could hurt someone. That would tend to lean towards the employer being responsible for the sexual offender’s actions, and in that case, you can bring an action against the employer at that time.

Suing the School or the Government Department Where He Was Employed

Similarly, if the person who sexually assaulted you has died and he worked for a school or a governmental department, you can bring an action against his employer. You will need to submit a claim, and may need to fill out a court form for a Creditor’s Claim. That form will need to be properly processed, by going to the probate court, and serving a copy of it to the personal representative of the estate of the deceased sexual offender.

If there is no probate proceeding, you may need to try to make a claim with the deceased sexual offender’s relatives or adult children. If these people inherit money from the deceased sexual offender, you can file a claim for the damages, personal injuries and losses (such as lost wages) against the beneficiaries to the sexual offender’s estate.
