Los Angeles County has reached a $4 billion settlement to resolve thousands of sexual abuse claims from foster care and juvenile detention facilities, in what could become the largest deal of its kind.
Los Angeles County in the United States has reached a $4 billion agreement to settle nearly 7,000 claims of sexual abuse in juvenile facilities dating back to 1959.
The settlement, which still requires approval from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, far exceeds the $2.6 billion deal reached in 2022 with the Boy Scouts of America — previously the largest sexual abuse settlement in U.S. history.
