The county estimates it could be forced to pay $1.6 billion to $3 billion for “more than 3,000 claims alleging childhood sexual assault” at various facilities.
Nearly 600 people have now alleged in a series of lawsuits filed by one firm that they were sexually abused and harassed while in custody at Los Angeles County’s juvenile facilities.
For decades, Los Angeles County failed to protect the youth from staff, failed to provide an adequate amount of staff and training to supervise the facilities, and failed to properly investigate allegations of abuse, the lawsuit states. Other abusers offered snacks, candy and other special privileges to try to coerce the children to keep quiet.Los Angeles County gave officers “uncontrolled and unsupervised intimate access” to the minors, the lawsuit alleges. The victims allege they were assaulted in their cells, in showers, and in common areas.
