Lawsuit Filed Against Little Owl Preschool for Covering Up Abuse of Children in Long Beach

Dordulian Law Group Files Lawsuit Against Little Owl Preschool

On January 19, 2026, the Dordulian Law Group announced a civil lawsuit against Little Owl Preschool in Long Beach, California. This case, identified as CASE NO: 26LBCV00124, is filed on behalf of four young children and their families, alleging a disturbing pattern of repeated sexual assault occurring within the preschool. The claim highlights the school’s negligence in protecting vulnerable children, the covering up of incidents, and retaliation against families demanding accountability.

The lawsuit addresses horrifying allegations where multiple preschoolers, aged three to four, were reportedly sexually assaulted repeatedly by a classmate during the 2023-2024 academic year. It is alleged that school staff failed to adequately supervise classrooms and common areas, allowing such abuse to persist. When parents approached the school’s management, complaints were allegedly dismissed as "normal" childhood behavior. Furthermore, the preschool’s founder reportedly took punitive measures against the families of the victims, including removal from the school and threats of legal consequences.

Press Conference for Victims and Attorneys

A press conference is scheduled for January 21, 2026, at 11:00 AM at the Dordulian Law Group’s office in Glendale, California. The event aims to shed light on the serious allegations and features statements from attorneys, including Sam Dordulian, a former Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles County. Families of the victimized children will also share their experiences during this public event. Media representatives are encouraged to RSVP ahead of time.

Response to Allegations and Concern for Additional Victims

The legal team has expressed concerns about the possibility of additional victims who have yet to come forward. They believe that Little Owl Preschool was fully aware of the abuse, noting an established pattern of inappropriate touching by the alleged perpetrator before any action was taken. Sam Dordulian stated, "We encourage families who have concerns about their children's experiences at Little Owl Preschool to connect with our office or report matters to law enforcement."
