Details Of Alleged Abuse At Illinois-Based Juvenile Hall Detention Facilities
A lawsuit has been filed on behalf of 95 men and women who claim they were sexually abused while housed at youth centers throughout Illinois.
The complaint accuses the state of Illinois, the Illinois Department of Corrections, and the Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ) of failing to protect the plaintiffs from adult employees sexually abusing them.
"The state of Illinois has caused and permitted a culture of sexual abuse to flourish unabated in its IYC facilities," the complaint says. "Upon information and belief, the State of Illinois is aware (and has for decades been aware) that the conditions identified above as connected to sexual abuse and conditions of juvenile detention facilities were and are endemic to all IYC facilities."
