Defending Survivors of Hotel Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is an egregious violation that shatters the sanctity of personal security. This term encompasses a range of non-consensual acts, from unwanted touching or kissing to more invasive forms of physical assault. Such acts are not just criminal; they are deeply traumatic, leaving lasting scars on survivors.

Montana’s Troubled Youth Treatment System:
A History of Abuse

A U.S. Senate Finance Committee investigation, Warehouses of Neglect, exposed widespread abuse and systemic failures in youth residential treatment centers across the country, including Montana. Findings revealed:

  • Sexual abuse & exploitation – Staff members used their power to isolate and abuse victims.
  • Forced sedation & restraint – Survivors report being forcibly drugged and physically restrained.
  • Psychological manipulation & isolation – Many were locked away, denied contact with family, and subjected to coercion.
  • Ignored reports of abuse – Complaints were dismissed, allowing the cycle of mistreatment to continue.

Instead of providing care, some of these institutions became places of fear and suffering.

Youth Treatment Facilities Facing Allegations

Reports of abuse have surfaced at multiple Montana treatment centers, including:

  • Arcadia Montana
  • Shodair Children’s Hospital
  • Monarch School
  • Ranch for Kids
  • Reflections Academy
  • Spring Creek Lodge Academy
  • Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch
  • And many more…

If you or a loved one experienced abuse at one of these facilities, legal action can help bring justice.
