Therapist Accused of Exploiting Minor in Custody | San Jose News

A family is suing Contra Costa County and state authorities after alleging a therapist, Sofia Ann-Buitron Drotts, sexually exploited their 17-year-old son while he was in juvenile custody and later receiving therapy. The boy, identified as John Doe, was reportedly groomed under the guise of treatment, taking advantage of his emotional vulnerability and inability to legally consent. His mother says trust in professionals is broken, and the lawsuit accuses supervisors of ignoring red flags. Drotts was arrested last week by Concord police but remains unlisted in custody. The family’s attorney calls it a systemic failure and breach of duty, raising urgent questions about safeguarding vulnerable youth.
