State Held Liable in Abuse Scandal | Concord News

A woman seeks over $100 million from the state after alleging she was raped 100 times by a group home co-owner in the 1990s—abuse that began when she was just sixteen. Her legal team argues the state knew about prior abuse reports yet continued licensing the facility, knowingly exposing vulnerable youth to harm. The defense claims the state acted reasonably with available information. This landmark case, one of the first to go to trial amid a broader abuse scandal, could set precedent for hundreds of pending lawsuits. The jury, now deliberating, must decide not only on damages but also whether the lawsuit was filed in time—potentially reshaping how similar cases are resolved nationwide.
