There have been reports of sexual abuse involving the YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) in the past. Like many organizations that work with children, the YMCA has unfortunately had cases of sexual abuse occur within its facilities or programs.
The law firm of Cerri, Boskovich & Allard sued the YMCA of the Silicon Valley in 2014. The case settled favorably for the victims.
The settlement was a significant step forward in holding the YMCA accountable for the sexual abuse that had occurred within its programs and facilities. The settlement also highlighted the importance of continued vigilance and commitment to preventing sexual abuse and ensuring the safety of vulnerable populations.
