LA County approves $828M settlement for 414 abuse survivors in foster and probation systems.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has approved an $828 million settlement for 414 survivors of childhood sexual abuse in county probation and foster care systems, the second major payout under Assembly Bill 218, which extended the statute of limitations.
The settlement, part of a potential $5 billion liability, follows allegations of fraud, including claims that some plaintiffs were paid to file lawsuits, prompting stricter review processes, sworn statements, and independent scrutiny.
County officials stress the need to protect both victims and taxpayers, while addressing concerns over inadequate prevention measures and ongoing unresolved claims.
