Delphi Academy Faces Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Over Alleged Failure to Protect Student
Lawsuit Claims Delphi Academy Failed to Allegedly Protect Student from abuse by Ex-Athletic Director Randolph Clifford Jackson
Los Angeles County -- October 18, 2024 -- A lawsuit was filed late yesterday (Los Angeles County Superior Court) against the Delphi Academy on behalf of a former student who was sexually abused by former basketball coach and Athletic Director Randolph Clifford Jackson.
The lawsuit claims the former student, identified as John Doe, was sexually molested during the 2011-2012 school year by Jackson. The lawsuit claims that Jackson made him an athletic department assistant and provided him car rides and isolated him behind closed doors. Jackson allegedly went on to repeatedly sexually abuse Doe on school grounds in the Athletics office, the sports shed, and in a boys' restroom.
Despite alleged knowledge of Jackson’s sexual misconduct at Delphi Academy, the complaint alleges that the Head of Delphi Academy, Karen Dale, instead recommended him for a job at Albert Einstein Academy in Santa Clarita after his contract expired. Jackson was arrested in February of 2015 after reports were made that he had continued to molest students at Albert Einstein Academy. He was sentenced to 17 years, eight months in state prison after pleading no contest to sexually molesting six boys between the ages of 13 and 17.
At the Delphi Academy, the lawsuit claims that Jackson would spend time alone with kids, expose his genitals, make sexually inappropriate comments, show pornographic images to minors and lavish gifts and meals on male students.
“This is a classic case of ‘passing the trash’”, attorney Mark Boskovich said. “A sexual predator could have been stopped before abusing countless young boys but instead he had a second chance to do what predators do and that is to sexually molest children.”
Delphi Academy Los Angeles is one of several Delphi Schools, a group of independent private schools operated by Delphi Schools, Inc. The schools use the study methods known as Study Technology that was developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
Boskovich is asking anyone with information about Jackson’s time at Delphi Academy to come forward and call the law firm at (408) 289-1417.
