Who is Tyler Humphreys?
Tyler Humphreys, 21, is a Sharon Hill student resource officer under arrest for the sexual assault of at least three children. His charges include:
- rape of a child
- statutory sexual assault
- and other related offenses
The crimes seem to have been committed between 2014 and 2022. Charges say he used alcohol to intoxicate and rape one of the female victims under the age of 16. In addition, accounts indicate he sexually assaulted a 9-year-old boy and another 19-year-old female.
Humphreys was working as a student resource officer with the Sharon Hill Police Department and had worked part-time with the Folcroft Borough Police Department. We previously wrote about the Folcroft Fire Department’s failure to report child abuse back in May.
Officers are hired to serve, protect, and uphold the law. This egregious pattern of violations diminishes a community’s trust in law enforcement and demands accountability.
You are not alone if you or your child has been impacted this way.

How Can A Civil Lawsuit Help Victims Seek Justice For The Trauma They May Have Experienced by Tyler Humphreys?
A civil lawsuit can serve as a crucial avenue for victims seeking justice and 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 for their actions. Civil suits allow victims to seek compensation for the physical, emotional, and psychological harm they have endured, helping to alleviate the financial burdens associated with medical and therapeutic expenses.
Additionally, these lawsuits contribute to the broader goal of raising awareness about the prevalence of sexual abuse and fostering a culture that prioritizes the safety and well-being of individuals over organizational interests. 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. Ultimately, civil lawsuits play a vital role in fostering a sense of justice and closure for survivors while promoting accountability within organizations to prevent future instances of abuse.
Can I File A Lawsuit Against the Departments?
Yes. You might have rights if you were a victim of Tyler Humphreys while employed at either of these departments. Sexual predators who target both male and female victims exhibit a disturbing pattern of indiscriminate victimization, demonstrating a lack of gender-specific preference in their predatory behavior. More children have likely been impacted.
