If approved by Los Angeles County Boards at month's end, the settlement will resolve over 6800 sexual abuse claims.
LOS ANGELES, April 17, 2025 -- Legal-Bay, a leading pre-settlement funding company, announces today that a Los Angeles County court has arrived at a likely $4BB settlement agreement to resolve the 6800+ claims of sexual abuse, the majority of which were suffered by plaintiffs while children at the MacLaren youth detention center. Some of the accusations date back to as early as 1959 with most abuses alleged to have taken place in the 1980s and 90s. The Children's Center was permanently closed in 2003.
This is the highest settlement amount in LA County's history which will create long-lasting financial repercussions. Rather than a lump sum, payouts to the plaintiffs will need to be made in annual installments, and financing will cost the county hundreds of millions in additional capital throughout the next two-and-a-half decades.
Due to the sheer volume of sexual abuse claims levelled at numerous youth detention facilities across the country, several policy reforms have been instituted, and more are still to come. Legal Bay applauds any effort that helps to keep children safe but says there is still a long way to go.
Chris Janish, CEO of Legal Bay, commented, "Legal-Bay has been one of the only companies who has been funding Mac Hall and other county of Los Angeles sex abuse and juvenile sex abuse cases; as well as many of these cases nationwide from New York to California. We are happy to see the start of a resolution of this landmark case that has cause decades of emotional damages to so many."

Legal Bay's loan for settlement funding programs are designed to provide immediate cash in advance of a plaintiff's anticipated monetary award. While it's common to refer to these legal funding requests as settlement loans, loans for settlements, law suit loans, loans for lawsuits, etc., the "lawsuit loan" funds are, in fact, non-recourse. That means there's no risk when it comes to loans in lawsuit settlements because there is no obligation to repay the money if the recipient loses their case. Therefore, terms like settlement loan, loans for lawsuit, loans on settlement, or lawsuit loan funds don't necessarily apply, as the "loan on lawsuit" isn't really a loan at all, but rather a stress-free cash advance.
Legal-Bay is known to many as the best legal funding company in the industry for their helpful and knowledgeable staff, and one of the best lawsuit loan companies overall for their low rates and quick turnaround, sometimes within 24-48 hours once all documents have been received.
