4585 Although a person or entity that had reason to know of unlawful sexual conduct by an employee and failed to take reasonable steps to avoid further such behavior by that person may be subject to an extended period of limitations under Code of Civil Procedure section 340.1 in an action for childhood sexual abuse, the "reason to know" requirement means that the employer knew of facts that would have led the reasonable person to infer that the employee previously engaged in unlawful sexual conduct with a minor; knowledge that the employee previously associated with pornographers and spent time in the company of young boys is not sufficient to satisfy this requirement.CitationDOE v CITY OF LA (Childhood Sexual Abuse) 42 C4 531 [See: CCP 340.1; Aaronoff v Martinez-Senftner 136 CA4 910, T/AT 3/06; John B v Superior Court 38 C4 1177, T/AT 8/06]
