he Boys and Girls club of Kern County is facing a civil lawsuit claiming the club didn't do enough to protect a young boy from allegedly being sexually assaulted by an older club member.  The lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial next week.  23ABC obtained a copy of the lawsuit which claims the Boys and Girls Club on Niles Street failed to protect a six year old boy from allegedly being sexually assaulted by another member inside one of the club's bathrooms.  Documents show between May 31, 2016 and June 6, 2016 the boy was sexually assaulted multiple times by an older club member.  Details say the six year old was forced into a bathroom stall where he was sodomized, touch inappropriately and forced to touch an older boy. 23ABC reached out to the Boys and Girls Club on Niles street for a comment, but we were directed us to their lawyers. 23ABC reached out to the law firm representing the club on multiple occasions and have not heard back.
