About this case
Los Angeles County agreed to a $4 billion settlement resolving more than 11,000 claims alleging sexual abuse in county-run juvenile halls and foster homes. The settlement was reached in April 2025, but payments for claims arising from juvenile halls are subject to a request by the Los Angeles County district attorney for a six-month freeze while an investigation into potentially fraudulent claims continues.
