CBS News LA Interviews Patrick McNicholas on LA County $828M Child Abuse Settlement
CBS News Los Angeles interviewed Partner Patrick McNicholas about the recently approved $828 million settlement for victims of childhood sexual abuse. The settlement addresses allegations that staff at county juvenile and foster care facilities sexually abused thousands of children over several decades.
This landmark settlement comes just six months after a $4 billion settlement for over 7,000 victims of systemic sexual abuse in Los Angeles County juvenile detention centers. McNicholas emphasized that this compensation serves as society’s recognition of a significant wrong and confirms that victims are entitled to restitution.
