Widespread sexual abuse of girls plagued LA County detention camp, women allege

LOS ANGELES — At least 20 women say they were sexually assaulted over the course of a dozen years at Camp Scott, Los Angeles County's all-girls juvenile detention facility, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday.

The women allege a culture of abuse at the Santa Clarita Valley military-style boot camp, where they say no fewer than 10 staff members subjected them to repeated sexual assault.

The incidents occurred between 1996 and 2008, according to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
