Andreozzi + Foote filed a lawsuit against Yellow Breeches EMS, Inc., for child sexual abuse and negligence. Douglas Shields, former Chief of Yellow Breeches EMS, engaged in the sexual abuse of a minor while using his position of power within the organization. Shields has already been criminally convicted for offenses including statutory sexual assault and aggravated indecent assault.
The abuse occurred while the plaintiff, identified as A.R., was participating in the Ride Along Program designed to provide training and mentorship opportunities. Instead of receiving guidance and support, A.R. was subjected to grooming and abuse by Shields. Yellow Breeches EMS, Inc. failed to act appropriately despite being aware of Shields’ inappropriate behavior toward female employees and volunteers.
