About the N.A Chaderjian Youth Correctional Facility

The N.A. Chaderjian Youth Correctional Facility, also known as the N.A. Chaderjaian School or just as Chad, opened in 1991. The institution is located in Stockton, California – specifically at 7650 South Newcastle Road. Originally, the facility housed male youth ages 14 to 25. It had a capacity of 600. As of June 2018, the facility had a population of 200. The facility is operated by the CA Division of Juvenile Justice or the DJJ.

Juvenile Hall Sexual Abuse

Unfortunately, sexual abuse is very common in juvenile halls. Detained youth could suffer sexual abuse at the hands of other detained youth as well as at the hands of staff at the facility. Sexual abuse is an umbrella term that includes many different types of sexual misconduct. When the victim is a minor, the sexual abuse is considered child sex abuse – as minors can never consent to any sexual contact.

Examples of sexual abuse include the following:

  • Rape and attempted rape
  • Sodomy
  • Penetration with fingers, objects, etc.
  • Fondling, groping, and any unwanted touching
  • Forced kissing on the lips or anywhere on the body
  • Forcing the victim to perform any sexual act
  • Making sexual comments or jokes about the victim or to the victim
  • Making the victim pose for photos or videos
  • And more

The Possible Harm this Sexual Abuse could Cause: although every incident is different, victims could potentially suffer significant physical, mental, and emotional harm as a result of the sexual abuse. Physical injuries could include sexually transmitted infections, injuries to reproductive organs, unwanted pregnancies, pregnancy-related complications, injuries to genitals, fractures, lacerations, scrapes, bruises, and other injuries associated with the use of force or a struggle during the abuse. Psychological harm (mental and emotional harm) can include depression, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, panic, increased risk of self-harm, increased risk of substance abuse, problems with authority figures, problems keeping a job, and problems forming normal relationships, for example. In these cases, psychological harm is usually extensive because victims are usually forced to continue seeing or living in close proximity to their attacker because they are detained and cannot simply remove themselves from the situation. Mental and emotional damages are likely to last many years if not the rest of victims’ lives.

Do I have the Right to File a Lawsuit against the DJJ for Sexual Abuse at Chad?

Yes – you could have the right to file a lawsuit. These facilities have a duty to ensure that their inmates are safe during their detention. They must keep detained youth safe from harm at the hands of guards and other staff as well as at the hands of other detained youth. To ensure that facility staff does not pose a threat to youth, all guards/staff must be subject to thorough background checks (at the time of being hired and randomly throughout the hiring period), training (i.e., they must be aware of all policies and procedures), and supervision. It is also necessary for there to be a way for victims to report the abuse. The facility must have clear procedures to investigate the abuse and take action to prevent any further abuse.

What if the abuse occurred at the hands of another inmate? When inmates sexually abuse other inmates, the facility could also be held liable. As mentioned, these facilities have the duty to ensure that their inmates remain safe. It is important for the facility to identify abuse and address it. They must take reports of abuse seriously to be able to address the situation. They might separate inmates, increase surveillance, increase guards, transfer inmates out to different facilities, and more.

When these facilities fail to keep detained youth safe from sexual abuse, they could be sued. Victims could have the right to file sexual abuse lawsuits against the Division of Juvenile Justice. For more information about your right to file a sex abuse lawsuit, contact us today.

Is Sexual Abuse Cruel and Unusual Punishment?

In some cases, sexual abuse can be considered cruel and unusual punishment. In other words, sexual abuse at juvenile halls could be considered a civil rights violation – meaning that victims could have the right to file a civil rights lawsuit.
