Back to EpisodesMan Sued in Massive Juvenile Hall Settlement
Description
Melvin Dunlap, a Missouri man, finds himself entangled in Los Angeles Countys $4 billion sex abuse settlement, despite never being detained or abused. He was named in a lawsuit filed by the Downtown LA Law Group, alleging assault at a Boyle Heights center when he was fifteen. Dunlap insists he knows nothing about it and wants no part. He was pressured to sign settlement papers after a car accident injury case with the same firm, but repeatedly denied and demanded to be removed. The firm denies coercion and claims they verify signatures electronically. Dunlaps case highlights risks in massive settlements as the firm faces probes for paying clients for false claims.
