Campbell Hall, a Studio City private school, has reached a confidential settlement with Hayley Dylan, who alleges former Lakers guard Byron Scott sexually assaulted her in 1987 when she was 15. The settlement comes as Dylan's civil trial against Scott is set to begin Sept. 8 in Van Nuys under California's Child Victims Act, which revived time-barred claims. Scott, then 26 and a married Lakers star, acknowledges sexual contact but says he believed Dylan was an adult member of the video production crew, not a student.

What happened during the alleged assault?

According to Dylan's complaint, the incident occurred during the filming of an instructional basketball video by several Lakers players in the Campbell Hall gym. Scott and Dylan walked away from faculty and the production crew, and Scott allegedly assaulted her in a janitor's closet. Dylan states Scott began kissing her on the mouth as she repeatedly asked 'what are you doing?' before pushing her to her knees and removing her top against her will.

Why did Campbell Hall settle while Scott's trial proceeds?

Campbell Hall attempted to remove itself from the litigation, but Judge Lee S. Arian denied its motion for summary judgment in January, ruling the school was responsible for protecting students from harm by a third party while on campus. The judge noted Dylan was the only student selected to remain after others left, yet no one checked on her whereabouts during lunch or looked for Scott and Dylan while they were alone. The settlement amount remains under seal until the conclusion of Scott's trial.

What comes next in the legal process?

Dylan filed her lawsuit Dec. 30, 2022, two days before she would have lost the ability to seek damages under Governor Newsom's Child Victims Act. The law created a temporary three-year window from Jan. 1, 2020, to Dec. 31, 2022, for previously time-barred claims. To proceed under the Act, two sealed declarations were required: one from a licensed mental health professional affirming the claim's credibility, and one from Dylan's attorneys stating they believe the case has merit. Dylan alleges she dealt with the trauma privately for years, known only to a few close confidants and mental health professionals.
