The settlement was approved by the Santa Monica City Council.
Santa Monica will pay $122.5 million to 124 people who alleged they suffered sexual abuse as children at the hands of a former city employee who volunteered with the Police Activities League, attorneys said on Wednesday, April 26.
Attorneys representing alleged victims said he volunteered with the city’s Police Activities League, claiming to be a police officer and even showing children a badge and gun to gain their trust. “How can so many young kids in the city of Santa Monica have gone through this horrible abuse?” Claypool asked. “Putting aside the money that’s been paid … we need to know that the city of Santa Monica will never let this happen again.”
