Kelvin Chiu, 31, of Fremont, is an athletic trainer at Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose. He was arrested on October 9, 2026, on suspicion of sexual battery, annoying or molesting a minor, and production and possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material. He has not been convicted and is presumed innocent.

What is Chiu accused of?

Police allege that he sexually battered a 16-year-old female student while treating her for a sports-related injury, recorded the incident on his cell phone, and possessed CSAM.

Are there other victims in the Archbishop Mitty case?

San Jose police believe there may be additional victims because of the suspect's position of trust. Anyone with information should call 408-277-3214 or email 4576@sanjoseca.gov or 4581@sanjoseca.gov.

Can I sue a private Catholic school for sexual abuse in California?

Yes. Private and religious schools can be held liable if they were negligent in hiring, supervising, or retaining an employee, or failed to protect students. The diocese or organization that oversees the school may also be responsible depending on the facts.

Is there a deadline to file a child sexual abuse lawsuit in California?

For childhood sexual abuse that occurred on or after January 1, 2024, AB 452 eliminated the civil statute of limitations. For earlier abuse, survivors generally have until age 40 or five years from discovering the injury. Acting quickly still helps preserve evidence.

Do I need to wait for the criminal case to end before filing a civil lawsuit?

No. A civil case is separate from the criminal prosecution and can be investigated and filed independently.

How much does it cost to hire DLG?

Nothing up front. DLG handles sexual abuse cases on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Call (866) GO-SEE-SAM for a free consultation.

Will my child's name be made public?

In most cases, no. Minors and survivors of sexual abuse can usually file under a pseudonym, and DLG takes steps to protect your family's privacy throughout the case.
