NEW
YORK, May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- VisionQuest is a for-profit corporation that was
established in 1973 as a residential treatment program for
vulnerable young people. Although VisionQuest purports to provide
safe and effective rehabilitative residential programs for at-risk
youth, numerous former VisionQuest residents have come forward
asserting widespread, systemic sexual abuse committed by
VisionQuest staff at VisionQuest facilities, including VisionQuest
facilities in Pennsylvania. It is
clear that VisionQuest failed over and over, for decades, to
protect the children entrusted to VisonQuest's care and turned a
blind eye to their suffering, as detailed in the complaint filed
this week.
Despite numerous documented and publicized incidents of sexual
abuse perpetrated by staff members at VisionQuest
facilities, VisionQuest continues to operate facilities across
the country, including in Pennsylvania, and continues to actively seek
to open new facilities to house vulnerable youth.
Our legal team is leading the way in investigating sexual abuse
claims from survivors of childhood sexual abuse committed at
VisionQuest and other youth serving facilities in Pennsylvania.
Leading the Way for Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse
Levy Konigsberg and its team of dedicated trial attorneys are at
the forefront of childhood sexual abuse litigation, having filed
hundreds of lawsuits nationwide on behalf of survivors.
In announcing this week's filings, Levy Konigsberg Partner
Anna Kull stated:
"Sexual abuse in institutional settings is usually not
just the result of the perpetrator's evil. But and as seen in the
VisionQuest cases, it is often the actions and inactions of
employees of the institution all acting carelessly that allow
abusive conditions to exist in the first place. This lawsuit is a
chance for survivors to take steps forward in healing their
traumas, and in helping expose and correct the failures that permit
sexual violence against children to persist within the institutions
designed to protect them."
Levy Konigsberg represents hundreds of survivors of sexual abuse
at Pennsylvania juvenile detention
and rehabilitative facilities and plans to continue fighting
tirelessly on their behalf.
