Thousands of documents that could contain key details about unbridled sexual abuse of children’s hood within a disappearance of Santa Clarita’s arrest, including the so -called “toilet drawings”, left scattered within the facilities and never became the folk county during the incidents of decades.
As part of the preparation for an imminent June trial, lawyers of the law firm Manly, Stewart and Final
Within the installation were records that the county should have delivered to the company more than a year ago through the discovery, said lawyer Courtney Thom, whose signature has to be a sexual abuse.

Thom said he discovered thousands of complaints on paper, a blocked filler labe Deputy of the Libertilian Accused of at least 20 women of sexual assault in the camp.
The drawing, included in a court, was of the name “Tami” in large letters and block oranges and seemed to be signed by a “Jackson. T.”
The lawyer James Sargent, who represents the county and accompanied Thom for the tour last week, described his “inflammatory and incorrect” statements.
“They want what they consider of dirty clothes,” said Sargent, who told the judge of the Superior Court of the, Lawrence Riff, that the personnel files they discovered had nothing to do with the staff named in the demands.

The county announced earlier this month that they planned to pay $ 4 billion to liquidate almost 7,000 claims of alleged sexual abuse within the youth facilities and the host houses of the County. The agreement, which is believed to be the largest sexual abuse agreement in the history of the United States, arose from the Draft 218 of the Assembly, a state law of 2020 that the cold victims of sexual abuse of childhood are a new window to present civil lawsuits again adntters.

County lawyers claim that one of the reasons why the change of state law has had such devastating financial cost is because many of the records they need to combat cases of decades have disappeared a long time ago. The lawyer John Manly argued that the claim flew against what his signature saw in Camp Scott.
The county “has had an account of every sacrament that they have no document,” said Manly, who urged the judge to allow his company to advertise the images that had tasks of the lots of documents. “We need to share this with legislators.”
Riff agreed with the county request that the videos of the Interior of Camp Scott remain confidential for now due to safety risks, although it ordered both parties to try to find some land on whether certain videos could be made public.
