Child Sexual Abuse in New Jersey School

Significant Settlement

A young boy with special needs was the subject of months of sexual abuse by a fellow student at his New Jersey school. Despite multiple warnings to the district about the perpetrator, no action was taken to protect the victim.

The abuse continued until he admitted to his therapist that he was near suicidal over what happened.

He came to us seeking to hold the school accountable for its negligence.

We investigated the school’s response to the warnings and uncovered systemic failures that allowed this abuse to persist.

Our work resulted in a significant settlement for the young boy and his family.

At Shaffer & Gaier, we help victims confront these institutional failures and pursue justice on their behalf.

If you or someone you know has been injured due to a property’s negligence, it’s time to take a stand.
