About this episode

This episode explores the expanded federal lawsuit against Central Indiana Teen Challenge, detailing allegations of abuse and human trafficking.

In Part 2 of our deep dive into the "Troubled Teen Industry," we pull back the curtain on the expanded federal lawsuit against Central Indiana Teen Challenge (now operating as Refuge Girls Academy ). What was marketed to desperate parents as a safe, faith-based residential haven for struggling youth is now facing documented allegations of abuse, human trafficking, and forced labor. We take you inside the updated federal complaint filed by Attorney Andi Simmons from Cohen Malad, LLP , which has exploded from nine original plaintiffs to 35 brave women coming forward to expose what happened to them as minors.
