LaForteza Judge of the Superior Court [1] Civil Code section 1708.5 codifies the elements of the intentional tort of sexual battery.

  • Name

    DMITRY GUROVICH VS CALIN ARIMIE, MD, ET AL.

  • Case No.

    20STCV39823

  • Hearing

    Dec 02, 2021

  • County

    Los Angeles County, CA

Plaintiff Figueroa brought a cause of action for sexual battery alleging Civil Code section 1708.5. Civil Code section 1708.5, subdivision (d) states, “For the purposes of this section ‘intimate part’ means the sexual organ, anus, groin, or buttocks of any person, or the breast of a female.” Since Plaintiff alleged sexual battery relying on Civil Code section 1708.5, the term sexual organ is not vague when read in the context of Civil Code section 1708.5, subdivision (d).

  • Name

    FIGUEROA V. ELITE HOME MEDICAL & RESPIRATORY, INC.

  • Case No.

    30-2011-00462139-CU-OE-CJC

  • Hearing

    Mar 21, 2017

LAUSD argues it cannot be held directly liable under Section 1708.5 because LAUSD is a public entity. By its very terms, Section 1708.5 defines a sexual battery as conduct committed by a person . Section 1708.5 does not apply to LAUSD. The court further observes that Section 1708.5 merely sets forth the elements of a sexual battery claim.

  • Name

    JOHN DOE 101 VS ROE 1

  • Case No.

    22STCV38285

  • Hearing

    Mar 04, 2024

  • County

    Los Angeles County, CA

Specifically, Defendants argue that Plaintiffs allegation that Enriquez touched Plaintiffs thigh is insufficient to constitute a cause of action for sexual battery under Civil Code section 1708.5, because Plaintiffs thigh is not an intimate part of her body as defined by the statute. In opposition, Plaintiff contends that section 1708.5 does not require contact with an intimate part to constitute a cause of action. The Court disagrees.

  • Name

    VICTORIA FIGUEROA, ET AL. VS CLAREMONT UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, ET AL.

  • Case No.

    20STCV19630

  • Hearing

    Nov 05, 2021

  • County

    Los Angeles County, CA

By failing to explicitly include attorneys fees in the language of section 1708.5, the Court agrees with Defendant that the Legislature did not intend for attorneys fees to be recoverable pursuant to section 1708.5. Plaintiff refers to the Digest for Senate Bill 2336 which states that [t]he bill would also provide for additional remedies, as specified, but attorneys fees are not specified in section 1708.5. Accordingly, Defendants motion to strike Plaintiffs prayer for attorneys fees is GRANTED.
