Doe v. Oceanside Unified School Dist. CA4/1
Plaintiff Victoria Doe was sexually assaulted on at least five occasions by a bus driver employed by defendant Oceanside Unified School District (the District) while traveling on a special education bus route operated by the District. The bus driver would touch plaintiff’s genital area over her clothing for a brief moment and then return to his seat. On each occasion, the touching occurred while another District employee, a bus attendant, was assisting another student in getting secured in her seat. After plaintiff told her mother about the abuse and her mother reported it to the District, the District placed the driver on leave and reviewed video recordings taken from inside the bus. The District provided police with five recordings that showed the bus driver leaning into plaintiff’s personal space and terminated the driver’s employment. The bus driver admitted criminal liability for his conduct.
