Scott Biski, NY Music Teacher Allegedly Abused Students

Scott Biski, a music teacher at Jamaica Gateway to the Sciences High School in New York, is facing charges of child sexual abuse. A local report reveals that Biski called his home the “bat cave” and “escape room” and allegedly invited female students over to his house for games, where he groomed and assaulted them. One victim says Biski furnished her with lavish gifts like Ugg boots, etc.

Biski is also accused of using his classroom to grope students. He arranged “makeshift dividers and old desks” in his music classroom and office, inviting students to hang out in his “escape room.” There, he would fondle and try to kiss them.

While there are no active criminal charges, these are disturbing allegations indicative of someone who has done this before.

You are not alone if Biski harmed you.

Understanding Teacher-Student Sexual Misconduct

Teacher-student sexual misconduct is a deeply troubling violation that not only damages the lives of the victims but also erodes public trust in educational institutions. When a teacher crosses the line and engages in inappropriate behavior with a student, it compromises the foundation of the school system’s responsibility to protect children.

How Can A Civil Lawsuit Help Victims Seek Justice For The Trauma They May Have Experienced by Scott Biski?

A civil lawsuit can serve as a path to justice for victims seeking redress from the trauma of sexual abuse, especially when organizations are implicated in the wrongdoing. By initiating legal action, survivors can hold both individual perpetrators and the institutions that may have enabled or failed to prevent the abuse accountable. Civil suits allow victims to seek compensation for the physical, emotional, and psychological harm they have endured.  Thus helping to alleviate the financial burdens associated with medical and therapeutic expenses.

Additionally, these lawsuits contribute to raising awareness about the prevalence of sexual abuse. Legal proceedings also offer survivors a platform to share their experiences, thereby challenging the culture of silence surrounding sexual abuse and empowering others to come forward.
