[Randolph Jackson and the Delphi Academy in LA]
We first told you in October 2024 about a lawsuit filed by a former student of Delphi Academy, a K-12 Lake View Terrace Scientology school, accusing the school of not protecting the student, who is going by John Doe, from sex abuse by its basketball coach.
The coach, Randolph Jackson, went on to teach at a non-Scientology charter school in Santa Clarita, where in 2015 he was arrested for molesting six students under the age of 16. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 17 years in prison. (He has since been paroled.)
John Doe’s attorneys alleged that Delphi Academy was negligent in hiring Jackson, and failed to protect Doe when allegations of Jackson’s behavior reached them.
We told you that Delphi’s first response to the lawsuit was to blame the victim, and then to say that the school was “unaware and had no notice, actual, constructive, or otherwise, of the alleged dangerous propensities of the alleged perpetrator.”
Later, Delphi’s attorneys submitted a more thorough attack on the lawsuit, arguing that the school had properly screened Jackson when it hired him, and had only received one report of unusual behavior about him that did not rise to the level of sexual abuse. The school moved to have the lawsuit thrown out on summary judgment.
The hearing for that motion was held this week in Los Angeles Superior Court, and Judge Ian C. Fusselman ruled that Delphi did properly screen Jackson when they hired him, and so he removed that count from the lawsuit.
