$4B sex abuse case delayed, victims hurt
Los Angeles County's $4-billion sex abuse settlement is under investigation by District Attorney Nathan Hochman, who alleges that many of the claims may be fraudulent. Hochman requested a six-month halt to payouts while his office examines potential misconduct, prompting a legal battle with county officials who want to proceed. Victims and their attorneys argue that delaying payments harms vulnerable individuals seeking justice and financial relief. The County and Hochman’s office are at odds over the validity of the claims, with Hochman citing data suggesting widespread fraud, though details remain confidential.
