A gym in Miami, Florida, was sued by the parents of a young woman sexually abused by a member of the facility in May 2023, according to Telemundo 51.
The LA Fitness location, situated on Southwest 8th Street, near 141st Avenue, received a formal lawsuit, for lacking adequate safety measures, according to Evan Robinson, attorney at Leesfield & Partners.
Robinson argued, moreover, that the gym should have restricted access to the aggressor Richard Bosch, “because they knew he was a dangerous person.”
Regarding the events that occurred, the lawyer recalled that Richard "harassed the young woman throughout the gym, asked her age, and posed a series of sexually explicit questions before sexually assaulting and abusing her in an isolated boxing room."
Bosch, now 24 years old, was sentenced to four years of probation for the cited offense, but last February he violated his probation and was arrested again for property damage.
The family is seeking compensation for damages exceeding 5 million dollars in the civil lawsuit. They claim that the young girl, who is now 16 years old, has endured tremendous psychological trauma, as reported by Telemundo.
