@TaylorRingLaw Congrats guys !

[PaulMones @MonesPaul]

I very much appreciate being recently recognized in the 2024 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America. Hats of to my colleagues who have also received this recognition.

At the core of the Netflix documentary Scouts Honor is the verdict that my colleague Kelly Clark and I won against the Boy Scouts in 2010. The $19.9 million verdict sent shockwave through the BSA and was the singular pivotal event causing its bankruptcy. Full
stop.

I had the pleasure of being interviewed for this documentary from @Netflix, Scouts Honor. The documentary features experts, survivors, and whistleblowers and explores the Boy Scouts of America’s decades-long cover-up of sexual abuse cases.

“It’s ridiculous given the vast, vast resources that the parishes and diocese own.”
You can read some of my thoughts on The Diocese of Rockville Centre’s proposed settlement to survivors of clergy sex abuse in this article from Newsweek. https://t.co/m9WW0ICG5z

The Unsecured Creditors Committee, representing victim-survivors, in the Diocese of Rockville Centre bankruptcy are filing their own plan. You can read about this important turn of events and hear my thoughts about it in this article in Newsday. https://t.co/gkXAaMdcPj

“This is not a California problem. This is a national problem.”
My brave client and I were recently featured in this article by The New York Times about abuse at The Thacher School. You can read more here: https://t.co/qSGg3sBAD7

I had the pleasure of speaking with USA Today about Civil statutes of limitations and how it affects victim-survivors of child sexual abuse. You can read the full article here: https://t.co/CUTlLlArQo

We are proud to represent this brave victim-survivor in this case against The Thacher School.

All state governments raised the drinking age 21 because 18 year olds don’t have the maturity to understand the consequences of their actions after drinking -might be a good idea as at least a first step to apply that thinking to automatic weapons #Uvalde #children #GunViolence

[PaulMones @MonesPaul]

Proud to be representing one of the courageous victim-survivors in this case.

“Because these are closed environments…the lines of appropriate behavior, even the grooming behaviors, are blurred. It seems here that the teachers there really were able to operate or run their lives with these students with complete impunity.” https://t.co/ZsCj2jwR3D

Investigators were examining potential sex crimes as well as whether Thacher administrators committed crimes by not alerting police to suspected child abuse, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s office.

The Thacher School, among California’s most elite private schools, acknowledged Wednesday decades of allegations of student sexual misconduct, harassment and “boundary crossing” by faculty members at the $64,700-a-year Ojai boarding academy.

Yesterday, The Thacher School publicly released a report from a Special Committee to their Board of Trustees outlining a history of sexual abuse of students at the school. Schools need to place the safety of their students above their reputation. https://t.co/ZsCj2jwR3D

The date for women to opt out of the Dr. James Heaps class action is fast approaching. It is May 6th.! If you are a victim you DO NOT have to participate in the class action. Stand up for yourself and make your own voice known. Know your rights.#jamesheaps #ucla #sexualabuse

[PaulMones @MonesPaul]

An exception to the rule - most perpetrators of sexual abuse escape any legal consequences because of the insidious nature of the crime that leaves most victims, through a combination of self- blame and embarrassment, drowned and
silent. #sexabuse https://t.co/zvE8thmSiG
