Lawsuit Alleges Sexual Abuse at Everett, WA Juvenile Detention Facility
A federal lawsuit accuses Snohomish County of allowing staff at the Denney Juvenile Justice Center in Everett to abuse children in custody during the 1990s and early 2000s. Eight survivors say county employees ignored complaints, failed to follow federal safety standards, and enabled a culture of neglect that left minors vulnerable to exploitation.
