Second lawsuit I have covered against the County involving allegations of sexual abuse of minors; this one involves the foster care system

 

This lawsuit first appeared on the County agenda in 2022.

Yesterday, there was a case management conference in O.B. vs County of Humboldt. There is also plaintiff A.K. and Doe 1. There is a cross complaint filed by County of Humboldt.

The complaint filed by O.B. alleges negligence on part of the County with claims that O.B. was sexually abused and assaulted as a minor in the foster care system. There is more than one alleged victim. O.B.'s alleged perpetrator was the foster parents' biological.son.

I worked for CWS many years ago and the allegations do not surprise me. Nor does the alleged lack of response or action from the County.

Attorneys for the parties are in the screenshot posted above. 

This is the second lawsuit I have covered which involves alleged sexual abuse of a minor and the County being sued.
