LOS ANGELES -- The federal judge in Los Angeles who presided over Hunter Biden's criminal tax fraud case has been sued over a party at his home where "significant" underage drinking allegedly led to a guest being assaulted and later hospitalized.
The injured guest, Alex Wilson, filed the suit against U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi and his wife, Laura Scarsi, alleging that they were negligent in allowing teens from "various schools, including Loyola High School and St. Francis High School," to consume alcohol without proper supervision.
The party occurred sometime in 2023 -- the lawsuit offers two conflicting dates -- at the Scarsis' gated Pasadena mansion. While the festivities were underway, a fight among "heavily intoxicated underage minors" erupted in front of the Scarsis' home and on their property, according to the suit, which was filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court and first reported by Law360.
Wilson alleges that one of the guests, Jackson Dorlarque, assaulted him and struck "his head and body on a curb on the Scarsi property." From the beating, Wilson lost consciousness, sustained a traumatic brain injury, and had to be hospitalized for more than two weeks, according to the lawsuit. The suit contends that a "major" cut to Wilson's face has left permanent scarring that "will require" plastic surgery.
