This page will look at civil lawsuits for sexual abuse of female prisoners at the California Institution for Women (CIW) in Chino. Inmates at CIW have been subjected to sexual abuse at the hands of correctional officers through threats and coercion. Many inmates have also been sexually abused by the prison OB-GYN during medical exams.

The California Institution for Women in Chino has a long, complicated, and depressing history. It is the oldest women’s prison in the state. It has housed notorious inmates over the years, including several Manson Family members. But today, CIW is known for something else, something much darker. Women incarcerated at CIW are stepping forward to reveal a culture of sexual abuse, denial, and silence that lasted for years behind the prison walls.

Our firm is currently accepting new CIW sex abuse cases. If you were sexually abused or assaulted at CIW prison, contact our sex abuse lawyers today at 800-553-8082 or contact us online.

Los Angeles County is at the center of one of the largest institutional child sexual abuse scandals in American history. Survivors of horrific abuse in juvenile halls and foster homes operated by the county have finally begun to see long-overdue justice after decades of silence, retaliation, and systemic neglect.

On April 29, 2025, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a $4 billion settlement to resolve more than 6,800 claims of child sexual abuse spanning a period of over 60 years. This settlement is the largest of its kind in U.S. history, surpassing even the Catholic Church and Boy Scouts of America in total payout.

The lawsuits primarily center on abuse committed by county employees, probation officers, and foster care workers. Many of these acts occurred at juvenile detention centers such as Barry J. Nidorf, Central Juvenile Hall, Los Padrinos, and various probation camps. Thousands of survivors suffered in silence, only recently able to come forward due to new legal reforms in California.

Streamwood Behavioral Healthcare System, located in Streamwood, Illinois, is a psychiatric facility providing inpatient and outpatient treatment for children, adolescents, and adults struggling with mental health conditions.

Like its sister facility, Hartgrove Behavioral Health System, Streamwood Hospital is owned and operated by Universal Health Services (UHS), a for-profit corporation with a long history of allegations involving patient neglect, safety violations, and sexual abuse.

Despite its stated mission to provide quality mental health care, Streamwood has been plagued by reports of mistreatment, negligence, and institutional failures, that have led to the sexual abuse of minors.  Allegations include sexual and physical abuse by staff, inadequate supervision of vulnerable patients, and cover-ups of reported incidents rather than proper intervention. These claims mirror broader depressing patterns seen across HS-owned psychiatric facilities nationwide.

Millions of families in the U.S. may have had drinking water contaminated with PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl) substances commonly known as “forever chemicals.” PFAS include perfluorooctane sulfonate (“PFOS”) and perfluorooctanoic acid (“PFOA”).

What is the Suboxone lawsuit about? The lawsuit is about what Suboxone does to your teeth.

They did not convey that risk to prescribing doctors or patients because they chose profits over people.
