Byron Scott, former Lakers player and coach, is being sued for allegedly sexually assaulting a 15-year-old student at Studio City Campbell Hall High School in 1987. The lawsuit details explicit acts of assault, including forced sexual acts. Initially filed anonymously, the lawsuit identified Scott after a judge ruled against obscuring his identity. The plaintiff, inspired by the California Child Victim's Act, decided to come forward to seek justice for her experience and confront the associated trauma.
The lawsuit states that, like many victims of childhood sexual assault, the plaintiff was resigned to deal with her trauma privately until the California Child Victim's Act was passed.
The amendment to the lawsuit named Scott and highlighted the struggles of the plaintiff, who decided to come forward to shine a light on her trauma and seek justice.
