- San Bernardino County Juvenile Hall

If you were abused at one of these facilities – or any other juvenile detention center in San Bernardino County – we want to hear your story and help you seek justice.
Several survivors have come forward with their stories of abuse that took place while they were in San Bernardino County juvenile detention centers. One man told NBC Los Angeles in December 2023 that a San Bernardino County probation officer sexually abused him while he was in a county juvenile facility when he was only 10 years old.
“I didn’t really know what was happening … I purposely tried not to get up at night just so that I could avoid seeing him,” the man told the outlet. He ultimately decided to sue the county of San Bernardino, alleging sexual harassment, sexual assault, and negligence.
Pursuing a Juvenile Detention Center Sexual Abuse Case
Survivors of juvenile detention sexual abuse often suffer lasting trauma, but survivors may be able to pursue financial compensation for:
- Medical and therapy expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Punitive damages against abusers and negligent institutions
The team at Phillips Law Group understands that many survivors hesitate to come forward due to fear, shame, or distrust in the system. We know how difficult this is, but you have the power to take action, and we will stand by you every step of the way.
