Central
District
of
California
Judge
Mark
C.
Scarsi
is
familiar
with
courting
headlines
—
like
when
he
took
to
the
public
record
to
rage
against
Joe
Biden’s
pardon
of
his
son.
But
this
isn’t
the
type
of
story
that
gets
you
fawning
coverage
over
at
Fox
News.
According
to
a
complaint
filed
last
week
in
California
state
court,
Scarsi
and
his
wife
hosted
a
party
attended
by
high
school
students
where
there
was
“significant
underage
drinking.”
According
to
plaintiff
Alex
Wilson,
there
was
little
supervision
at
the
party
and
no
security.
A
brutal
fight
broke
out
in
front
of
the
Scarsis’
property,
and
Wilson
was
severely
injured,
according
to
the
complaint.
As
reported
by
Law360:
Wilson
said
the
students
were
drinking
alcohol
at
Judge
Scarsi’s
home,
“without
any
hired
security
or
proper
supervision.”
During
the
party,
the
fight
broke
out
“directly
in
front
of
and
on
the
property
of
the
Scarsi
home,”
he
said.
That’s
when
Wilson
was
“brutally”
beaten,
resulting
in
“significant”
injuries
that
left
him
in
the
hospital
for
weeks,
he
said.“As
a
result
of
the
ineffective
protection
and
the
underage
drinking
allowed
by
the
Scarsis
on
their
property
and
their
failure
to
supervise
or
have
appropriate
security
personnel,
a
brutal
and
severe
beating
was
perpetrated
…
upon
plaintiff,
who
had
to
be
admitted
at
a
hospital
for
over
two
weeks
to
receive
medical
care
for
his
injuries,”
the
complaint
states.
Wilson’s
underage
assailant
and
the
assailant’s
parents
are
also
listed
as
defendants.
Wilson
is
seeking
unspecified
damages
for
his
“serious
and
traumatic
injuries”
and
says
he
“will
require
reconstructive
plastic
surgery
and
has
suffered
personal
and
social
anxiety
and
distress
from
the
prominent
facial
scarring
and
the
incident.”
The
complaint
alleges
negligence
and
negligent
security
against
the
Scarsis
and
specifically
points
to
“the
failure
of
SCARSI
security
personnel
to
protect
him,
and
the
lack
of
supervision
at
an
event
that
allowed
underage
drinking
at
the
SCARSI
property.”
