David Lane Braff Jr., a former school counselor in Ventura County, now faces 33 felony counts related to alleged abuse of 15 children across multiple schools over a 20-year period.

This case is a stark reminder that background checks aren't enough. Schools and youth programs need real accountability—ongoing oversight, accessible ways to report concerns, and a culture that takes action the first time someone speaks up.

Survivors of institutional abuse deserve more than apologies. They deserve justice and real support on their path to healing.

If you or someone you love was sexually abused by David Lane Braff Jr., or another school employee, we encourage you to contact our team for a free, confidential consultation.

New records reveal that the Babylon School District ignored multiple warnings about teacher Timothy Harrison—years before he admitted to abusing a 15-year-old student. Officials knew as early as 2017, yet he remained in the classroom until 2021.

Institutional silence isn’t neutrality—it’s complicity. Survivors deserve justice and accountability.

For 23 years, a case involving allegations of abuse at Landmark School remained sealed—shielding those responsible and silencing survivors. Only after a court unsealed the files did the truth come to light.

This story is a stark reminder: secrecy protects institutions, not victims. Transparency can encourage survivors to come forward, expose patterns of abuse, and hold wrongdoers accountable.

At Herman Law, we fight for survivors of sexual abuse in schools and other institutions. Your voice matters. Your story matters. You are not alone.
