A trial is scheduled to begin on July 24 in a civil lawsuit filed against the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD), Beverly Hills High School (BHHS) and former baseball coach Henry “Hank” Friedman regarding alleged incidents of sexual abuse from 1978 to 1981. The trial will take place in the Santa Monica Courthouse.
The case was filed by Lauren Siegman, who alleges that Friedman sexually assaulted and abused her some four decades ago while she was a student at BHHS. She further alleges that the school district failed to protect her and other victims and failed to take appropriate action against Friedman.
