Here’s What You Need to Know:

1. LA County Has Agreed to Pay $4 Billion to Survivors

After more than 6,800 claims of sexual abuse, Los Angeles County is preparing to pay out a historic $4 billion legal settlement — one of the largest in U.S. history.

These aren’t isolated cases. Survivors have reported abuse going back decades at places like:

MacLaren Children’s Center (closed in 2003)

Camp Scott

Central Juvenile Hall

Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall

County-run foster care placements

If you were abused in one of these facilities — or others run by the LA County Probation Department — you may qualify for compensation.

2. You Don’t Need to Have Reported It Back Then

You don’t need police records. You don’t need to have told anyone at the time.

Thanks to California law and the ongoing legal process, survivors may qualify for compensation even if the abuse happened as far back as the 1960s — and even if the perpetrator was never charged.

Your voice still matters. And it’s not too late.

3. You Must File a Claim to Receive Compensation

The $4 billion is real — but it’s not automatic. If you don’t file a claim, you won’t receive a share of the settlement.

That’s why our intake team is helping survivors get the information they need to move forward. The process is completely confidential, and there’s no obligation to proceed beyond the review.
