State Failed to Protect Teen in Abuse Case

A teenage girl is suing New Hampshire after being sexually assaulted over 100 times by the owner of a group home she was placed in — and her lawyers say the state knew the risks but still sent her there. The state argues it’s not liable for a private operator’s crimes, but jurors recently toured the now-closed facility where the abuse happened. Tsetsilas, convicted and now deceased, hid the victim for nearly a month — during which time child services didn’t even search for her. This case isn’t just about one girl’s trauma — it’s a battle over whether the state failed in its duty to protect vulnerable youth when it had the power to act.
