Did You Experience Sexual Abuse While Held at a Maryland Juvenile Detention Center?

Systemic failures in Maryland’s juvenile detention centers have been known for decades, with documented cases of abuse and neglect against detained youths. Evidence suggests that staff and management failed to prevent or report incidents of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, despite their obligations to protect those in their care.

In Maryland, survivors of child sexual abuse can now bring forward civil lawsuits regardless of when the abuse occurred. This provides a path to justice and compensation for survivors.
