As an inmate, you have the right to sue for being sexually abused at a detention facility by a staff member, such as a probation officer or counselor. You also have the right to file a lawsuit for monetary damages like medical costs and pain and suffering based on the fact that an adult took advantage of you in a sexual manner. That means the idea of consent (saying yes or no) is irrelevant when we are talking about sexual relations between an inmate and a juvenile justice employee.

En California, los menores se definen como personas menores de 18 años. Como menor de edad, no puede dar su consentimiento para participar en una actividad sexual, por lo que no existe ninguna defensa que pueda utilizar un adulto que obtenga satisfacción sexual de una interacción con alguien menor de 18 años. Es por eso que cualquier relación sexual entre un adulto y un recluso menor de 18 años se clasifica como abuso sexual infantil.

Además de la persona que te usó de manera sexual, es posible que tengas motivos para demandar al Estado de California, ya que fuiste recluso de la División de Correcciones y Rehabilitación de California. Esta agencia tiene el deber de cuidarte, lo que implica controlar las instalaciones y asegurarse de que los reclusos estén bien atendidos en un entorno seguro y limpio. También deben tomar medidas inmediatas si uno de sus empleados ha sido acusado de abuso sexual, pero sabemos que muchos de estos casos son desestimados. Algunos funcionarios llegan al extremo de destruir pruebas que indiquen abusos en las instalaciones para negarles a las víctimas la justicia que merecen.

No se pueden tolerar niveles tan atroces de negligencia y no descansaremos en nuestra lucha para combatir los incidentes de abuso sexual infantil en el sistema de justicia juvenil.

As we investigate abuse allegations on behalf of a client, there is almost always a trail of victims that were abused by the same staff member. These other inmates may be interested in seeking justice as well, and this is how class action lawsuits are established. However, you should always verify that a legal action is in your interests, which we can help you with here at DTLA Law Group. Please schedule a free case review to discuss the option of filing a California Division of Juvenile Justice sexual abuse class action claim.

En average value of a juvenile inmate sexual abuse lawsuit in California varies depending on the type of incident. Keep in mind, however, that some cases end up with higher payments due to the severity of physical or psychological injuries and extreme negligence by those in charge of the inmate’s safety.

A class action lawsuit against the Division of Juvenile Justice sexual abuse can settle for over 0,000,000. Many of these lawsuits are filed on behalf of 100 or more victims, which explains the high settlement amounts. Once the settlement is recovered, it’s divided between all the class members, so what you end up with will probably be around $400,000 to $2,000,000.

Preparing a lawsuit and negotiating a settlement on behalf of a child sexual abuse victim often takes around 12 to 24 months. If a settlement cannot be negotiated and we decide to ask for a court date, 3 or more years can go by before you receive payment from a jury verdict. However, we can promise you that court proceeding are extremely rare, as government agencies are looking for the cheapest and fastest way to resolve a claim for abuse by one of their employees. This is why there are situations where a case is settled within the first 6 months. But we would have to say that the majority of lawsuits take at least 1 year from start to finish.

Adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse in California have 22 years to file a lawsuit, starting from the date of turning 18 years old. In that case, it would seem that there is an age limit of 40 when it comes to suing a juvenile hall for the sexual abuse of an inmate. But this is not necessarily true, as there are lawsuits that are filed by people who are past the age of 40.

Hace unos años, la Legislatura de California realizó cambios radicales en las leyes que protegen los derechos de las víctimas de agresión sexual infantil. Estos incluyen la ampliación del plazo de prescripción a 5 años a partir del descubrimiento de una lesión resultante del abuso sexual, ya sea una lesión física o un daño psicológico. Esto fue en respuesta a los sobrevivientes adultos que no pudieron procesar lo que habían soportado durante muchos años. Sin embargo, la represión de los recuerdos dolorosos junto con la vergüenza y la culpa del abuso sexual no desaparecen por sí solas, y es por eso que muchas de estas personas terminan con graves problemas de salud mental.

Figuring out that these issues are associated with sexual abuse at a juvenile detention center can take many years, which is why it’s unfair to place an age limit on how long you have to sue for sexual abuse that occurred while you were a child. You may be older than 40, but the late discovery of an injury may provide you with 5 more years to file a Division of Juvenile Justice sexual abuse lawsuit.

Those who were sexually abused by a juvenile justice employee are entitled to competition, but filing a lawsuit is a difficult process that you should not undertake without an attorney. Then again, the cost of hiring a lawyer is unaffordable for most people, which is why we are happy to offer a a contingency-based fee arrangement. You pay zero for us to represent you, since we only get paid by recovering your settlement and receiving a portion to cover our expenses. That means your finances are never at risk, so there’s nothing to stop you from reaching out to us for a free case evaluation.
