Maryville Academy Sex Abuse Lawsuit Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

For years, Maryville Academy in Des Plaines, Illinois, was presented as a safe haven for vulnerable children—a place where at-risk youth could receive care, education, and spiritual guidance. However, survivors have now come forward to expose a darker reality—one of institutional betrayal, systemic sexual abuse, and a pattern of misconduct that spanned decades.

The Maryville Academy scandal is not just about individual acts of abuse; it is about an entire institution that enabled and protected abusers while failing to protect the children in its care.

Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center Sex Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

On this page, we will look at sex abuse lawsuits involving juveniles who were detained at the Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center (BCJJC), a detention facility in Baltimore, Maryland for juvenile offenders. A new law in Maryland now gives victims of child sexual abuse the ability to file civil lawsuits against the state to seek financial compensation even when the abuse occurred decades ago.

News and Updates:

February 3, 2025: The Maryland Child Victims Act (CVA), which took effect in 2023, eliminated the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits related to child sexual abuse. What made this legislation especially significant was its retroactive application, granting survivors the ability to file claims even for decades-old abuse. However, opponents quickly challenged the law, arguing it was unconstitutional under Maryland’s state constitution. The case was fast-tracked to the Maryland Supreme Court for review.
