Two Men Sue Passaic County Over 80s Abuse | Jersey News
About this episode
Two former detainees are suing Passaic County for sexual abuse by staff in the 1980s, alleging systemic failures that allowed predators to remain in power.
Two former detainees are suing Passaic County for sexual abuse by staff in the 1980s, alleging systemic failures in screening, training, and supervision that allowed predators to remain in power. Now 53, the plaintiffs—identified by initials—describe abuse beginning as young as 12, while the county has approved $200,000 to defend itself, declining to comment on specifics. The case echoes a similar lawsuit filed last year, and comes amid a history of neglect at the now-closed Haledon facility, where safety issues were already known. The men are seeking justice and compensation for trauma that shaped their lives. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
