George Harris Jr. Sex Abuse Lawsuit

Recent George Harris Jr. sex abuse litigation has brought to light deeply troubling allegations of sexual abuse and harassment involving a former El Segundo High School water polo coach. At Phillips Law Group, we are committed to supporting survivors of sexual abuse and holding perpetrators accountable for their actions, and we may be able to assist survivors with a George Harris Jr. sex abuse lawsuit.

George Harris Jr. Abuse Allegations

According to reports, multiple former students have come forward with allegations of sexual abuse and harassment against George Harris Jr., who served as a water polo coach at El Segundo High School. Harris joined the El Segundo Unified School District as a teacher in 1981 before joining the water polo staff at El Segundo High in 1991, according to local outlet KTLA.

The alleged abuse took place between 2002-2010. According to The Los Angeles Daily News, Harris left the school in 2009, reportedly due to an unknown medical condition. His accusers claim that during his time as a coach, Harris groomed, harassed, and abused them.

One survivor, identified as John Doe to protect his identity, said of the educator that he was given “assignments” that revolved around sex, not athletics. He told KTLA he was given instructions on touching himself, and that Harris wanted physical contact, but he rebuffed the advances. He alleged his abuse mostly occurred through sexually explicit phone conversations with Harris.

However, a lawyer for the victims in a lawsuit filed in 2023 said, “There are other plaintiffs, of course, who had actual sexual contact with George Harris.” The lawsuit seeks to hold Harris accountable for his alleged actions and to shed light on the systemic failures that allowed such abuse to occur unchecked – including questioning what the school knew of the abuse but didn’t take action to prevent further victimization.

These brave individuals have shared stories of inappropriate touching, sexual comments, and other forms of abuse that have left lasting emotional and psychological scars. If you or a loved one has been affected by the actions of George Harris Jr. or any other individual in a position of trust, our compassionate and experienced legal team is here to help you seek justice.

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...
