Los Angeles County is investigating those who have filed bogus damage claims, alleging that they were victims of childhood sexual abuse after the county approved a record settlement with those who were allegedly abused at county facilities, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday.

This year, the LA County Board of Supervisors approved two settlements that totaled over $4.8 billion with over 11,000 people who claim to have been sexually abused as children while being under the care of LA County, especially at Probation Department facilities and the MacLaren Children’s Center, a children’s residential care center that was shut down in 2003. It’s believed to be one of the largest sex abuse settlements in U.S. history.
