This page looks at sexual abuse lawsuits involving juvenile inmates at the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center (commonly known as the Audy Center or Audy Home).

Like many juvenile detention facilities across Illinois, rampant sexual abuse, violence, and mistreatment plagued the Audy Center for decades. For too long, Cook County officials and detention leadership failed to protect the vulnerable youth in their custody, allowing widespread abuse to occur behind locked doors. Staff misconduct, systemic negligence, and an entrenched culture of silence turned the facility into a breeding ground for trauma rather than rehabilitation. As a result, survivors are now stepping forward to file lawsuits, seeking not only compensation for their suffering but also accountability for a system that betrayed them.
