The Girls Rehabilitation Facility (GRF) in San Diego was supposed to offer structure, care, and a second chance to court-involved girls. Instead, civil lawsuits and survivor accounts reveal a deeply troubling reality: a facility that allowed sworn officers to use their positions of authority to sexually exploit the very minors they were charged with protecting.
As more survivors come forward, a clearer picture has emerged of a juvenile justice system plagued by abuse, cover-ups, and systemic failures. These lawsuits seek to hold the County of San Diego and the San Diego Probation Department accountable for the sexual assaults that allegedly occurred under their watch.
If you or someone you love was sexually abused while held in a juvenile detention center in San Diego County, you may have the right to file a San Diego juvenile hall lawsuit. These lawsuits seek accountability from county-run facilities that failed to protect minors in their care. These cases are primarily about settlement compensation, and our lawyers believe that a San Diego settlement is forthcoming sooner rather than later. But for victims at places like the Girls’ Rehabilitation Facility, it is often not only about compensation. It is about exposing institutional failures and protecting others from similar harm.
