Dozens more lawsuits filed over sex abuse in NJ youth jails

Thirty unnamed survivors filed a negligence lawsuit against the State of New Jersey, alleging that staff at youth detention facilities engaged in inappropriate strip searches, coercive sexual contact, and rape from the 1980s through the 2010s. The plaintiffs claim that hiring, training, and supervisory failures created a culture of abuse, and that witnesses failed to intervene or report misconduct. The lawsuit seeks accountability for systemic failures that allegedly left minors at risk of sexual and physical abuse.
