If you or a loved one suffered sexual abuse at the former Joplin Youth Center in Orange County, California, you deserve justice, and our experienced legal team is here to fight for you. Survivors of institutional abuse often face lifelong trauma, but you are not alone. Our compassionate attorneys can hold negligent facilities accountable, ensuring survivors receive the compensation and closure they deserve.
Sexual abuse in juvenile detention centers, like the former Joplin Youth Center, is a devastating betrayal of trust. These institutions have a legal duty to protect vulnerable youth, but too often, systemic failures enable predators to exploit children in their care.
Whether abuse occurred recently or years ago, California law provides a pathway to justice. Our firm has the resources, expertise, and determination to take on powerful institutions and demand accountability for this abuse to you or your loved one.
Joplin Youth Center was operated by the Orange County Probation Department in Trabuco Canyon until May 2019, according to The Los Angeles Times. It was briefly repurposed in 2020 as a facility for “sheltered homeless persons who are older but not exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19.”
But before that, the facility housed youth offenders, and if any were sexually abused by the staff at Joplin, our team of attorneys may be able to help them seek justice. Phillips Law Group has successfully represented survivors of abuse in the past, and we are committed to seeking justice and maximum compensation for any clients whose cases we take on.
Our team handles every sexual abuse case with sensitivity, prioritizing your privacy and emotional well-being. We pursue all liable parties, from staff members to government entities that enabled abuse through negligence, and are committed to advocating for you or your loved one who was harmed.
If you or a family member experienced abuse at Joplin Youth Center, please contact us today for a free, no-obligation, confidential consultation.
