Lawsuit Filed: Pierce County failed to protect kids at Remann Hall.

Our firm has now filed a lawsuit on behalf of five survivors of s*xual abuse at Remann Hall, a youth detention center in Tacoma. Their stories are part of a larger, long‑running pattern at local juvenile facilities.

For more than 30 years, youth locked in that juvenile detention center were s*xually abused by the very staff who were supposed to keep them safe. County officials knew a culture of s*xually abuse pervaded Remann Hall and did not stop it. Reports were ignored, investigations were cursory and quickly closed, and a culture of permissiveness and indifference took root.

All of the local juvenile facilities seemed to have a pervasive problem with staff s*xually abusing residents that were placed there. It is baffling how officials allowed this to happen.

These survivors deserve accountability, transparency, and meaningful change so no child is ever again subjected to this kind of abuse in government custody.

LAWSUIT FILED: Olympia Massage Therapist Sexually Assaulting female clients at “The Well”

Olympia massage clinic “The Well” has been served with a lawsuit after one of its massage therapists s*xually assaulted a woman in Lacey during a massage session. This was not the first time Ignacio Ramirez had been accused of s*xually assaulting clients. Attorneys Darrell Cochran and Bridget Grotz of PCVA have filed the case, alleging the clinic failed to protect female clients from a known s*xual predator and massage therapy provider. The State has revoked Ramirez's license after allegations of misconduct were founded during its investigation.

If you or someone you know experienced s*xual assault or inappropriate conduct by a massage therapist at The Well or another clinic, contact attorney Darrell Cochran to discuss your options.
