A judge Wednesday ordered the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office to turn over part of the police investigative file related to the former athletic director of San Gabriel Mission High School, who allegedly seduced a girl and took her to Nevada in 2016.
Attorney Sonya Ostovar, who represents the young plaintiff in the Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit, said Judge Elizabeth Allen White granted her substantially all the information she sought in her motion regarding the LAPD investigation of Ivan Barajas.
The judge issued her ruling after meeting in her chambers with Ostovar and lawyers for the archdiocese and the City Attorney’s Office. Deputy City Attorney Jeffrey Blumin asked that the meeting be held outside of public view because of the plaintiff’s age.
In response to an October subpoena for the LAPD investigative records from the plaintiff’s lawyers, the City Attorney’s Office responded that they could not be released without a court order.
