The lawsuit, filed Thursday, is being brought against Sharks Sports & Entertainment, LLC — the parent company of the official team. Boskovich is representing the family of a 12-year-old player who alleges direct abuse by Whitmer. On Oct. 31, 2023 the child’s family filed a report with the San Jose Police Department and the following month, Whitmer was arrested and charged with 30 felony counts of child sexual abuse and 25 counts of possession of child pornography.
The lawsuit also states that an employee in charge of the locker room was not only ignored by Sharks management when she raised concerns about Whitmer, but that she was terminated shortly after doing so.
“This program supervisor raised these concerns to management at least five to 10 times during the 2018-2023 period,” the filing reads.[/quotes]
