Jacob Cuellar, former CEO With Existing Criminal History Arrested

Jacob Cuellar, 45, the CEO of Laurel Ridge Treatment Center in San Antonio, Texas, is facing criminal charges for allegations of continual sexual abuse against an 11-year-old child. While there have been no identified victims from the Center as of now, it is hard to believe Cuellar would have only offended one child. He has a criminal history of pornography, a fact the Center refuses to address after questioning by the media and community. One Google search on Cuellar provides many links to his criminal background. The Center should have known. Cuellar resigned from his position three weeks ago.

Can a Civil Lawsuit Help Victims Seek Justice for the Trauma They May Have Experienced By Jacob Cuellar?

By initiating legal action, survivors can hold 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.

Additionally, these lawsuits contribute to raising awareness about the prevalence of sexual abuse and fostering a culture that prioritizes the safety and well-being of individuals over organizational interests. As a result, survivors gain a platform to share their experiences.  Thereby challenging the culture of silence surrounding sexual abuse and empowering others to come forward.

Can I File A Lawsuit Against the Center?

Yes.  If you were a Jacob Cuellar victim, you might have rights. Investigations proved the Center should have known of prior pornography charges and never hired him in the first place.
