Justice for Survivors of Sexual Abuse in San Diego Juvenile Detention

If you were abused while in a San Diego juvenile facility, you are not alone — and may be entitled to significant compensation.

Across facilities like Kearny Mesa, East Mesa, Camp Barrett, and others, survivors are coming forward with disturbing reports of sexual abuse by staff members. For too long, these voices were silenced. Today, the law offers a path to justice.

Have you experienced sexual assault or abuse?

We can help answer your questions and connect you with an attorney if you may have a case.

You Still Have Time to Act

Even if the abuse happened years ago, you may still be eligible to file a claim under California law.

Thanks to the California Child Victims Act, survivors of childhood sexual abuse have an extended window to pursue justice. You now have until age 40 — or within 5 years of realizing the emotional and psychological effects of the abuse — to file a civil lawsuit.

This law was created because the trauma of abuse can take years — even decades — to surface. The legal system finally acknowledges that, and gives you the time and space to come forward when you’re ready.

You don’t have to prove everything right away. You just have to start. We’re here to help guide you through the process, with compassion and experience.
