I can only imagine there was a super messy situation at the time… with a ton of emotions involved. I hope and pray that any minors or young adults who were victims at least had the love and support of their parents at the time these NDAs were signed… even if I totally don’t understand how it all came to pass, or why the parents cooperated with the NDA process and settlement …
There was a really recent, major news article in the LA Times about the whole issue of confidential NDAs and sexual abuse/unethical conduct/etc, and the serious ethical & legal questions surrounding this practice. It digs into circumstances involving that DESPICABLE doctor at USC… and how they covered up for him. Really appalling and disturbing… the NDA related to one situation involved destroying evidence which might have been applicable to a different case.
Lawyers following these topics might find the whole case and report interesting… Mark Geragos played a key role in the NDA in this situation.
