California Court of Appeal

Dismissal with prejudice of complaint, involving sexual molestation of minor by middle school teacher, is affirmed where plaintiff minor neither presented a claim within six months of the accrual of her cause of action, nor sought leave to present a late claim within one year of accrual. Moreover, there is no basis for her to amend her complaint to allege that her cause of action did not accrue by reason of either delayed discovery or equitable estoppel.
