Detenido un profesor de instituto de Monrovia por abusos sexuales a una menor de 16 años


SEXUAL ABUSE LAWYERS

Monrovia High School Teacher Arrested for Sexual Abuse of 16-Year-Old Girl

Un profesor de instituto de Monrovia ha sido detenido acusado de conducta sexual con una joven de 16 años. Chad Miller, profesor de 38 años del instituto Canyon Oaks de Monrovia, conoció a la víctima a través de una aplicación de redes sociales en abril de este año. Mantuvo correspondencia con ella durante varios meses, y durante este tiempo, Miller "se reunió con la víctima en persona y participó en varios actos ilícitos con ella", según las autoridades del Departamento del Sheriff del Condado de San Bernardino.

Charges filed against Miller include contact with a minor with intent to commit sex offenses, oral copulation with a minor, and sexual penetration of a minor. He is due to appear in court on September 8th, and his bail has been set.

Sadly, what’s happened to this girl is quite common in high schools and other facilities that are in charge of children. Predators like Miller prey on vulnerable children and groom them over a period of months by making the child feel loved and cared for. In addition, the victim was probably more at ease with Miller due to his status as a high school teacher.

His job and the access it gave him to potential victims is precisely what the authorities are concerned about. These cases usually involve a series of victims that go back many years. Anyone with information regarding Miller and sexual abuse of students can contact the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department Detective’s Bureau at 909-477-2800. Victims should also learn about their rights and legal options from a lawyer with experience in school sexual assault incidents. Our law firm is ready to take your call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so contact us anytime if you or your loved one was sexually abused by a teacher.

¿Puedo demandar al distrito escolar si fui abusada sexualmente por Chad Miller?

La mayoría de los casos de abuso sexual de un profesor contra un alumno implican demandas contra el distrito escolar, así como contra el agresor. El fundamento jurídico de una demanda por agresión sexual contra una escuela se basa en la negligencia, lo que significa que la escuela no cumplió con su deber de cuidar a la víctima. Esto puede suceder de muchas maneras, pero todos estamos de acuerdo en que los administradores escolares son responsables de proteger a los estudiantes a los que sirven. Eso significa que tienen el deber legal de ponerse en contacto con las autoridades si presencian, se les informa o sospechan de incidentes de conducta sexual entre alumnos y profesores.

Cuesta creer que sea la primera vez que Chad Miller pone sus ojos en una víctima inocente. Por lo tanto, debemos preguntarnos qué sabía el distrito escolar y qué hizo con esa información. Por ejemplo, ¿habían denunciado antes las víctimas, pero la escuela decidió no ponerse en contacto con las autoridades? ¿No cesaron a Miller en su puesto de trabajo ni le expulsaron del colegio mientras investigaban las acusaciones de abusos sexuales? ¿Destruyeron u ocultaron pruebas que apuntaban a Miller o a otros profesores de la escuela, poniendo así en peligro a más niños?

Hay más cuestiones que tendremos que examinar antes de poder determinar la responsabilidad del distrito escolar por el abuso sexual de uno de sus alumnos. Pero usted puede ver cómo las escuelas se convierten en parte del problema, en lugar de la solución cuando un maestro depredador está en su medio. Con esto en mente, es esencial obtener asesoramiento legal de un abogado con experiencia en abuso sexual infantil. Póngase en contacto con nuestra oficina inmediatamente si fue abusado sexualmente por un miembro del personal mientras asistía a Canyon Oaks High School.

Valores del caso de agresión sexual a menores

First, it’s important to note that no amount of money can erase what has happened to you, or any other victim of child sexual assault. And putting a dollar value on what this type of abuse does to someone is incredible challenging, even for experienced attorneys. That’s why it’s impossible for us to say what these lawsuits are worth on average. Based on the degree of emotional trauma, physical injury, and level of neglect by the involved parties, case values can vary widely. But there have been cases where victims receive higher compensation due to a variety of conditions that are specific to their case. To discuss the potential value of your own public school sex abuse claim, contact the attorneys of DTLA Law Group.

¿Cuánto dura el proceso de resolución de estos casos?

There is no set amount of time to reach a settlement for cases of sexual abuse between teachers and students. These cases are especially complex when they involve staff members at public schools. Lawsuits against government and public entities require additional procedures, like filing a claim against the school district and waiting for a response before you can proceed with a lawsuit. It’s possible that you will receive a favorable settlement offer early on, but we find that most of these cases take around 1 to 2 years, and even longer if your case proceeds through the full legal process. However, it is worth noting that over 95% of all childhood sex abuse cases are resolved before reaching the courtroom.

Prescripción de la acción judicial por abuso sexual entre profesor y alumno

The deadline to sue for the sexual abuse of a minor is based on whichever of these dates comes later: 1) 22 years from the date of turning 18 (40 years old) or 2) within 5 years from discovering the psychological and/or physical effect of child sexual abuse. As you can see, this is a very generous amount of time seek justice if you were sexually abused by Chad Miller or any other teacher at Canyon Oaks High School. However, it’s important to obtain legal advice as soon as possible, since there is a lot of work to be done when it comes to a school sexual abuse lawsuit. The sooner you get started, the sooner you can build a strong case and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Here at DTLA Law Group, we understand that things don’t always work out between lawyers and their clients. Sometimes, there are personality conflicts that can cause disagreements, and this is not necessarily any cause for alarm. On the other hand, there may be signs that your lawyer is incompetent or not experienced enough to handle the issues in your case. Or, they may lack the time and dedication you need as a childhood sex abuse victim in need of justice. If you are dealing with any of these issues, don’t hesitate to give us a call. One of our attorneys will meet with you for a free second opinion, so that you are aware of the available legal options if you feel like your case is headed in the wrong direction.

Contingency Fee Representation for Sexual Abuse Victims

En última instancia, emprender acciones legales depende de cada víctima de abusos sexuales en la infancia. La clave es sopesar todas las opciones disponibles y tomar una decisión informada. Para ello es necesario contar con la orientación de un abogado especialista en demandas por abuso sexual, tanto si usted es la víctima como si es un familiar de alguien que fue agredido sexualmente cuando era menor.

If moving forward with a compensation claim is right for you, there’s no need to worry about legal fees. A contingency fee arrangement is an agreement where you can hire us at no upfront cost. In addition, you do not pay anything for the entire duration of your case. We get paid by receiving a portion of your settlement from a school sexual abuse lawsuit, meaning that you will not be charged anything if your case does not result in a recovery.

En resumen, usted no pierde absolutamente nada por reunirse con nosotros para una evaluación gratuita de su caso. Póngase en contacto con nosotros lo antes posible y programe una evaluación gratuita de su caso.
