'Kissing Club' At Elite LA Private School At Center Of Lawsuit: Report

The parents of an 8-year-old girl are suing a San Fernando Valley private school, accusing administrators of failing to shut down a "Kissing Club" started by older students who they claim bullied and sexually assaulted their daughter, according to a report.

The Sierra Canyon School student was 7 at the time of the incidents, the lawsuit claims.

The older students' bullying included name-calling, “peeking through the bathroom stall while the child used the bathroom” and pressuring others to commit sexual acts, the suit claims. The lawsuit also claims that several 7- and 8-year-old girls would gather inside the bathrooms to participate in the Kissing Club, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Two 8-year-olds pressured and bullied younger students to join the club, including the 7-year-old victim, the suit claims.

The lawsuit also claims that some of the acts were recorded on students' phones and a teacher took one of the student's phones and sent the videos of the acts to herself and showed them to other staff.
