Second child sexual abuse case filed against Livermore school

SAN FRANCISCO and LIVERMORE, Calif., June 29, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Mary Alexander announced that her firm, Mary Alexander and Associates of San Francisco, has filed a second lawsuit against Livermore Valley Charter School, a K-8 public school in Livermore, California, for the alleged sexual abuse of a minor female student by campus security guard, Jason Quero.  In the filing, Alexander stated that a minor, "Jane Doe 2", was groomed by Quero for sexual molestation and abuse "over a period of years" beginning in the first grade and gradually escalated to sexual abuse in the eighth grade, according to the complaint.  Quero was subsequently arrested in July 2014 for the abuse of Jane Doe 2, and a second female victim known as Jane Doe, who already has a pending lawsuit against the school on similar grounds.  Quero is currently serving a six-year sentence in state prison.

Jason Quero worked as a campus security guard and was permitted by the school to use the campus as a place to teach karate classes to students.  He was reportedly often seen with young girls on the school campus and showed his affection through flirting and gifts, according to the Alexander filing.  "The school gave Jason Quero unfettered access to vulnerable young girls when it should have been asking itself, Was it suspicious that a male employee is spending so much time with female students, sexting with them on social media, and giving them candy," said Mary Alexander Plaintiffs' attorney. Alexander represents both Jane Doe and Jane Doe 2 in the lawsuits against Defendant Tri-Valley Learning Corporation, the entity that owns and operates Livermore Valley Charter School.  The lawsuits were recently consolidated in Alameda County Superior Court. 

According to the complaint, Jason Quero forced Jane Doe 2 to carry out sexual fantasies, play sexual games, and watch pornographic videos with him.  The sexual molestation and abuse happened on and off campus.  The pattern of sexual abuse was strikingly similar to the complaints made by Jane Doe.  Both victims seek unspecific damages for their abuse.

Alexander, who resides in Atherton with her office in San Francisco, is former National President of the American Association for Justice, formerly the Association of Trial Lawyers of America.
