"Our client is devastated by this complaint. Our client believed the plaintiff to be over 18 and had no idea she would claim otherwise until 35 years later."
"During a visit from the Lakers, the alleged victim was attending summer classes at Campbell Hall High in Los Angeles when she was sexually assaulted by Byron Scott in a locked janitor's closet."
Byron Scott, the former Los Angeles Lakers player, is being sued for allegedly sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl during a team event in 1987. The lawsuit accuses him of sexual battery and false imprisonment, filed under a California law that allows older cases to be brought forth. Scott's attorney claims he believed the girl was of legal age. The incident took place in a janitor's closet during a Lakers visit to Campbell Hall High. Scott has publicly contested the lawsuit after a judge allowed his name to be disclosed.
