Major Settlement Reached in Private School Bus Company Sex Abuse Case
Our firm reached a significant, confidential pre-suit settlement with one of the largest private school transportation companies in the country, following a sexual assault by one of its drivers 
against a student in a New York school district.
The driver, who was convicted and sentenced to prison, spent months grooming the middle-school student. He was able to obtain the student’s cell phone number under the guise of needing to contact her if the bus was running late. He began texting with her, discussing things of sexualized nature and then changed his route so she was the last one off the bus. Having isolated her, he raped her.
Sexual assault is a particularly difficult form of trauma, with potential long-term, even lifelong, implications. In this case, the student contracted a sexually transmitted disease, developed PTSD, acute depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, and turned to self-mutilation with constant thoughts of suicide.
While no amount of money can right the wrongs inflicted upon her, this life-changing settlement can help provide financial security, and a peace of mind that she has the resources to continue with the professional treatment she needs to heal.
Our firm is committed to providing representation to victims and survivors of sexual assault and abuse. We have a dedicated team of attorneys and staff to expertly handle cases on behalf of those who were victimized.
