The Brief

  • Former teacher Jeremy Yeh found guilty on 17 felony child molestation charges.
  • Four families have filed a lawsuit against the San Bruno Park School District.
  • Yeh is facing up to 425 years in prison and will be sentenced April 25.

SAN BRUNO, Calif. Four families announced a civil lawsuit Wednesday against the San Bruno Park School District. The lawsuit comes days after a former teacher, 34-year-old Jeremy Yeh, was found guilty on 17 felony child molestation charges. The families say the district failed to stop Yeh from sexually abusing his students from 2016 to 2023.

The victims’ families say the San Bruno Park School District should be held responsible for what happened to their children. They say the district first knew about his inappropriate behavior back in 2017 and did nothing about it.

“Our parents feel that they placed their trust in the school district and trusted them to do the right thing when they received information, and that trust was violated,” said Valerie Rose, an attorney representing one of the victims.
