Legal Question in Employment Law in California
In 1997, [Employee A] was hired at [Company X]. At the time, [Employee A] was not a convicted felon but had been previously convicted three times on misdemeanor charges for indecent exposure. At the time of his hiring, [Company X] did not have a policy in place that required criminal background checks for employees. In September 2000, [Employee A] fondled a 10-year old girl while on the job [at company X] which he worked. The girl�s mother sued [Company X] for negligent hiring, claiming that they should have known of his status as a sex offender through a background check. Was [Company X] liable?
