A former Contra Costa County behavioral health clinician is facing seven felony charges, including unlawful sexual intercourse and oral copulation, after allegedly exploiting a teenage boy assigned to her through the courts at the John Davis Juvenile Detention Center between April and July. The case, triggered by a tip from a probation supervisor, has led to a civil claim filed by the victim’s family with attorney John Burris, who accuses the county and state of systemic failure for not protecting the teen and for failing to act on warning signs from other staff. Prosecutors are aggressively pursuing the charges, which also include sending harmful material and possessing child pornography, underscoring the urgent need for accountability in youth care systems.
