Most report that they are getting blamed for the closure because they used their voice to complain about sexual abuse at the East Bay facility. The women shared their stories over the weekend through loved ones, who either wrote or called KTVU, to relay their accounts.
The problems include a rampant culture of sexual abuse where eight officers have been charged with sex crimes since 2022 – seven so far have already been found guilty and sent to prison themselves. The women got brief breaks to make phone calls when they were in a detention center in Pahrump, Nevada.
