San Diego County is facing a profound reckoning as more survivors come forward to expose the extensive sexual abuse that occurred for decades inside its juvenile detention centers and youth treatment facilities. These are not isolated claims. They represent a long-standing pattern of institutional failure, silence, and harm inflicted on some of the most vulnerable children in California.

A History of Abuse in San Diego County Youth Facilities

Multiple lawsuits have detailed the systematic abuse of children in San Diego’s juvenile justice and child welfare systems. Survivors describe horrifying experiences of rape, molestation, forced sex acts, threats, and grooming—often carried out by adults entrusted with their care. The reported abuse spans more than 50 years, with some victims as young as eleven.

In 2021, the surgical implant manufacturer Exactech announced a recall of all its Optetrak® implant systems used in total knee replacement surgeries since 2004. The recall came after the company discovered that a problem with the product packaging was causing the polyethylene insert component in the Optetrak implants to degrade not function properly. This defect is causing the Optetrak knee implant systems to prematurely fail, which ultimately requires patients to undergo additional revision surgery.

Individuals who had the Exactech Optetrak system implanted and suffered premature failure due to this defect can file a product liability lawsuit against Exactech and potentially recover financial compensation for their pain and medical bills. Our firm is currently accepting Optetrak implant failure cases from patients who suffered a premature failure of their knee replacement implant and had to undergo revision surgery.

Los Angeles County is at the center of one of the most extensive government-run institutional child sexual abuse scandals in U.S. history, with thousands of allegations tied to county-operated juvenile halls, youth detention centers, and foster care placements.

For more than sixty years, children placed in these facilities reported being sexually abused by staff, probation officers, and contracted caregivers. Many of these reports were not properly investigated, and some survivors have alleged that known abusers were transferred rather than removed.

On April 29, 2025, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a $4 billion settlement to resolve nearly 6,800 claims of child sexual abuse tied to county-run juvenile and foster care programs. The settlement acknowledges decades of harm experienced by children who were under the custody and care of county institutions.
