Swim Instructor, Tyler Reece Livingston, Berkley California Sexual Assault Legal Help

Were You Abused by Swim Instructor Tyler Reece Livingston of Emeryville, California?

Tyler Reece Livingston, a 25-year-old swim instructor from Emeryville, California, is currently facing serious charges related to multiple counts of sexual assault against young boys. During his recent arraignment in Oakland, Livingston pleaded not guilty to the allegations. The charges include nine felony counts involving sex crimes against children, in addition to gun and drug-related offenses. As a result, the court denied his bail, pending a review hearing later this week.

The accusations against Livingston originated from two boys, ages 6 and 9, who reported experiencing sexual abuse during their swimming lessons. These reports led to a deeper investigation, uncovering three additional victims. During a search of Livingston’s residence, authorities found an unregistered firearm, high-capacity magazines, ammunition, suspected cocaine, and children’s clothing.

Livingston's attorney, Valery Nechay, requested bail, citing his strong community ties and the absence of any prior criminal record. However, the prosecution stressed the seriousness and repetitive nature of the offenses. Superior Court Judge Elena Condes sided with the prosecution and denied bail, though a hearing has been scheduled for reconsideration in four days.

Warren E. Thornton Center (WET) Juvenile Detention Facility

A lawsuit, filed last week in California in the Sacramento Superior Court by NAACP Sacramento President Betty Williams, alleges that while under the care of the county, her 14-year-old relative was forced into sex work by a pimp who frequented a group home facility run by Sacramento County for foster children.  Prior to the girl’s removal from her father’s house she had been maintaining straight A’s in school and was active in cheerleading. Now she rarely attends school and is failing her classes.

The Sacramento County group home is a former juvenile detention facility in Rosemont, where foster children have been housed for more than 6 months. All the while receiving site letters requiring the children to be removed. State ombudsperson Larry Fluharty stated that the county is housing teenagers in “jail-like” cells with metal bunk beds, metal toilets covered with wood and that the environment could “retraumatize” the youth and cause the children to feel “Physically and psychologically unsafe.”
