Judge Allows Lawsuit Against Sierra Canyon School to Proceed Publicly

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge David B. Gelfound ruled Thursday that a lawsuit against Sierra Canyon School will proceed in public court rather than under seal. , who was seven years old when the alleged incidents began. Court documents state that older female students operated a "kissing club" in school bathrooms where younger students were pressured into kissing, genital touching, and oral copulation.

The complaint claims the conduct continued due to insufficient supervision by teachers and administrators at the Chatsworth campus. It further alleges that school officials later found videos of the incidents on student phones but did not promptly notify law enforcement or families.

Sierra Canyon School has denied the allegations. The school stated that once concerns were raised in 2024, administrators conducted a review and implemented corrective measures. It maintains that the claims are untrue and do not reflect what occurred on campus.

U.K. was repeatedly harassed during school hours and that the school took no action after becoming aware of the activity. Attorney Sam Dordulian, who represents the family, told FOX 11 this is the second lawsuit filed against the school involving similar allegations.

The case will now enter the discovery phase, during which attorneys may seek internal emails, disciplinary records, and sworn testimony ahead of a possible jury trial.
