Survivors who were abused while detained in a California juvenile detention center may qualify to file a lawsuit. This includes abuse by staff, guards, or other detainees if the facility failed to protect you. Parents and guardians of minors may also take legal action on behalf of their children.

Lawsuits may address any form of sexual abuse or misconduct, including:

– Sexual assault or rape

– Inappropriate touching, harassment, or grooming

– Retaliation after reporting abuse

– Negligence by staff in preventing or stopping abuse

California has recently expanded the statute of limitations for sexual abuse cases. In many situations, survivors may still be eligible to file a claim—even if the abuse occurred decades ago. Our legal team can review your case and explain how the current law applies.
