Brutal Jail Assault Allegations | New Orleans News

A former inmate is suing Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office officials after claiming he was brutally stabbed, sexually assaulted, and tortured for nearly 20 minutes by fellow inmates — all because his housing unit was left unsupervised for hours. The lawsuit alleges systemic understaffing and security failures at the jail enabled the horrific attack, which included being dragged on a leash and forced to crawl like a dog. While the Sheriff’s Office says initial investigations found no merit to the claims, they’ve now reopened the case for review amid mounting pressure over long-standing safety concerns.
