The Types of Unreported Sexual Abuse That Victims Suffered at MacLaren Hall

The Southern California News Group researched almost 1,900 pages of documents and more than 100 hours of recorded police interviews to reveal a more than decade-long pattern of covered sex abuse allegations.

The types of abuses included physical, emotional, sexual, verbal, and psychological.

Many reports by former residents of over-medication, beatings, restraints, confinement to a small punishment room, rape, and other forms of sexual assault make Mac Hall a supposedly dangerous and traumatizing place.

Two women, identified as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 in a lawsuit filed against Los Angeles county, are now 54 and 61 years old, respectively–they allege that while housed at MacLaren they were subjected to forced vaginal intercourse, oral sex, digital penetration, groping and other sexual abuses.

More Details on the Types of Unreported Sexual Abuse at MacLaren Hall

According to the documents obtained from the lawsuits from various California state and city courthouses, there is a clearer picture painted concerning the specific types of physical, sexual, mental, and psychological abuses suffered by underaged students.

In its lawsuit to close down MacLaren, ACLU accused Los Angeles County and the State of California of several broad failures at MacLaren Hall, including:

  • Favoring money-saving decisions over those in the best interests of children
  • Merely documenting the mental health needs of children rather than focusing on providing care
  • Children in need of mental health treatment received no appropriate treatment or only treatment once per week
  • Over reliance on MacLaren Hall as a semi-permanent rather than temporary housing unit
  • Lack of professional training for MacLaren Hall’s staff and other social workers

The Shield Legal Network team believes that victims of sexual abuse should be able to address Maclaren Hall Children’s Center and get compensation and justice.

The California Assembly Bill 218 legislation opened a three-year window allowing sexual abuse victims of any age to file civil lawsuits no matter when the abuse occurred, or if their alleged abuser is alive or dead
