If when I was 15 I took classes and signed on with a modeling school but was then molested after being sent out on a modeling job, can I sue the school?
It is a well known modeling school. I am now 36 and have 5 young children. I want to make a difference so that no other children have to go through what I did. Sorry this is so brief but I just really want to find out if there is anything that can be done.

There may be a statute of limitations issue and as far as the school, it may not be liable if it had no reason to know of the client's activities. You could consult with an attorney before you decide to pursue any criminal charges at this point.
