New Victim Files Lawsuit Against Clovis Unified School District

Andreozzi + Foote announces that we now represent a new victim in a lawsuit against Clovis Unified School District. This case involves allegations of abuse against a former teacher, Noel Harmon Jesse. Our firm is committed to seeking justice for those harmed by institutions.

Background on the Case Against Clovis Unified School District

Noel Harmon Jesse, a former teacher within the Clovis Unified School District, is serving 38 years in prison after being found guilty of producing child pornography. The investigation uncovered that Jesse used his position to exploit vulnerable students, causing lifelong trauma. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California led the prosecution, ensuring Jesse faced accountability for his crimes.

The scope of Jesse’s actions has left multiple victims traumatized. Additionally, previous lawsuits against Clovis Unified School District have revealed a disturbing pattern of institutional failures. In a separate lawsuit, the district agreed to pay a $2.1 million settlement to a special needs student who a teacher’s aide molested.

The Lawsuit: Holding Institutions Accountable

Andreozzi + Foote is pursuing legal action against Clovis Unified School District on behalf of our client, who Jesse also victimized. This lawsuit holds the district accountable for failing to protect students. We argue that it neglected to supervise Jesse properly and ignored warning signs that could have prevented further abuse.

Our firm is handling high-profile sexual abuse cases and advocating for victims harmed by institutional negligence.

Why Institutional Accountability Matters

Schools have a legal and moral duty to protect students, primarily from predatory behavior.

By pursuing this lawsuit, we hope to prevent similar tragedies in the future and ensure that schools implement more robust safeguards to protect students. Our mission is to obtain justice for individual victims and promote systemic changes that reduce the risk of abuse within educational institutions.

Andreozzi + Foote remains steadfast in our commitment to representing survivors of sexual abuse and holding negligent institutions accountable. With this case, we will continue to fight for justice and seek to create safer student environments nationwide.
