Juvenile reported a staff member had been touching her inappropriately, multiple times a day over the past 3 weeks. Juvenile stated the staff member touches her “on the ass or my tits”, and has given her multiple front hugs, in which staff “had a boner every time.” Officer viewed camera footage at facility of a particular incident that juvenile referred to. The staff member was observed giving juvenile a front-to-front hug, during which he leans in until both their faces are touching, and places his right hand straight onto juvenile’s rear end. Officer stated the strategy of the hug appeared to be so staff could reach her rear end. It was also later discovered that juvenile had told staff that she groped staff’s private area, and staff stated he wouldn’t say anything. Officer was informed that other staff were confronting juvenile about the allegation, due to alleged staff member being a “beloved staff member.” Facility CEO requested a subpoena from police to release the video footage. The alleged staff member was sent home on leave until the investigation is complete.
