ILLINOIS JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER SEXUAL ABUSE LAWSUITS

Juvenile detention centers in Illinois are reported to have the highest rate of sexual abuse nationwide, as highlighted by a U.S. Department of Justice report.

This disturbingly high incidence of abuse suggests a widespread failure across the state's detention facilities in safeguarding youth inmates from sexual abuse, opening the possibility of legal claims for the damages suffered by survivors.

Our law firm, recognized for our expertise in handling sexual abuse lawsuits against influential organizations and various detention systems, is committed to supporting those who endured sexual abuse while at any juvenile detention center in Illinois. We stand with victims of sexual abuse in Illinois juvenile facilities, and their families, offering them a platform to seek justice and potential compensation in court.

New Legal Developments Empowering Juvenile Detention Center Sex Abuse Survivors in Illinois Illinois has recently enacted legislation that significantly enhances the rights of sexual abuse survivors, particularly those who were abused as children.

The Child Victims Act, enacted in April 2023, provides survivors who experienced sexual abuse as minors with new opportunities to seek justice. Key provisions of the Child Victims Act of 2023 include:

Removal of the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits related to child sexual abuse, allowing survivors to initiate legal action without time constraints. Introduction of an unlimited lookback period, permitting child sexual abuse survivors to file lawsuits for abuse that occurred in the past, irrespective of the previous statute of limitations. Effective from October 1, 2023, the Child Victims Act has led to an increase in claims against prison and juvenile detention systems with histories of child sexual abuse.

We have successfully represented thousands of sexual abuse survivors against abusers and those who enabled them.
