California Court of Appeal
JOHN Y., JR. v. CHAPARRAL TREATMENT CENTER, INC., E029558
The trial court did not err when it refused to issue jury instructions related to defendants' vicarious liability for an employee's sexual misconduct against a minor patient, where the connection between the employee's authority and his sexual misconduct was too attenuated to view the acts within the risks allocable to his employer.
