Seeking Justice for Sexual Abuse & Sexual Assault at Youth Treatment Centers

The issue of sexual abuse in youth treatment facilities is increasingly under the spotlight, thanks to recent news coverage and court cases.

  • High-profile figures like U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville are leading the push
  • Celebrity personalities like Paris Hilton are also calling for justice
  • Many are championing legislative reforms to eradicate institutional abuses

Victims And Parents Of Children Who Have Experienced Sexual Abuse At Youth Treatment Centers May Be Able To Seek Justice And Compensation

One only needs to look at a recent case of sexual abuse at a Toquerville youth treatment center to understand the severity of the issue.

Paul Anthony Nichols, a 23-year-old former employee at a youth treatment center in Toquerville, was recently sentenced on multiple felony charges in the 5th District Court.

Nichols faced seven second-degree felony charges, including five counts of forcible sexual abuse and two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

He had pleaded guilty to these charges. As part of the plea deal, a first-degree felony rape charge against him was dropped.

The prosecution argued for a prison sentence due to the severity of the charges; the betrayal of trust inherent in Nichols' role as a counselor, and the victims were already vulnerable, being in a treatment facility.
