A new state law that took effect in 2020 has expanded the window for former Bay Area students who allege sexual abuse by educators to file claims against schools they say didn’t protect them. Chronicle reporter Sophia Bollag joins host Cecilia Lei to discuss her months-long investigation and the patterns of abuse and grooming by educators and neglect by administrators. She’ll also share how coming forward decades later is helping heal some alleged victims. Content warning: This episode includes descriptions of child sexual abuse and assault. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
