洛杉矶州批准40亿美元解决少年设施和寄养家庭性虐待索赔。 Los Angeles County approves $4 billion settlement for sexual abuse claims in juvenile facilities and foster homes.

洛杉矶州批准了一项40亿美元的解决方案,以解决1959年以来县管理的少年设施和寄养家庭近7 000起性虐待指控。 Los Angeles County has approved a $4 billion settlement to address nearly 7,000 claims of sexual abuse in county-run juvenile facilities and foster homes since 1959. 该定居点是美国历史上最大的定居点,超过了2022年26亿美元的美国童子军定居点。 The settlement, the largest in U.S. history, surpasses the $2.6 billion Boy Scouts of America settlement in 2022. 2020年加利福尼亚州的一项法律中止了儿童性虐待案件的诉讼时效,使得这些申诉得以受理。 The claims were enabled by a 2020 California law that suspended the statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse cases. 县将通过其雨季基金和发行债券为和解提供资金,预计将在今后五年内付款。 The county will fund the settlement through its rainy day fund and by issuing bonds, with payments expected over the next five years.
