Attorneys representing alleged victims of Eric Uller said he volunteered with the city's Police Activities League, claiming to be a police officer and even showing children a badge and gun to gain their trust.
will pay $122.5 million to 124 people who alleged they suffered sexual abuse as children at the hands of a former city employee who volunteered with the Police Activities League, attorneys said Wednesday.
Uller, 50, worked with the city as a systems analyst when he was arrested in 2018 on allegations that he had been molesting boys as far back as the late 1980s. Attorneys representing alleged victims said he volunteered with the city's Police Activities League, claiming to be a police officer and even showing children a badge and gun to gain their trust.
Attorney Brian Claypool, who represented many of the plaintiffs suing the city, held a news conference in downtown Los Angeles Wednesday to announce the settlement. Claypool alleged that Uller groomed young children through the PAL program, often giving them food, money or gifts, and sometimes taking them to sporting events. He alleged in lawsuits that city officials were made aware of Uller's behavior as early as the 1990s, but nothing was done.
Uller was placed on leave immediately following his arrest in 2018. He was found dead in his apartment later that year, shortly after being charged with felony counts including lewd acts on a child and continuous sexual abuse.
