Orange County supervisors agreed to settle a lawsuit that claimed county workers failed to contact authorities to investigate child sexual abuse allegations.
An Orange County mother of two turned to social services when she suspected something was awry with her young boys in 2011.
The social worker ultimately found the allegations lacking and closed the case. But that was far from the end of the ordeal.The former San Diego County educator is being held at a detention facility without bail. That misstep, the mother alleged, led to years of additional sexual abuse by Alex Padilla Beltran, 56, who was eventually arrested in 2018.“It’s been a long road for the boys who didn’t even realize at the very beginning what was going on,” said the mother’s attorney, Christopher Taylor of Pasadena-based Taylor Labor Law. “They’ve been stressed about it and this trial.”
Beltran remains in custody at the Theo Lacy Facility. He is awaiting trial on 26 counts of sexual abuse over a 17-year period dating back to 2000 including alleged lewd and lascivious acts with minors.Operation targeting online child sex abuse nets 141 arrests across Southern California “The mother is very happy because when this all started years ago, nobody believed her, including [child protective services] and relatives who didn’t want to admit this longtime family friend had been doing this,” Taylor said.by the Orange County Register, after Tuesday’s closed session. But in a statement to The Times, Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento said he felt compelled to act even though the allegations happened well before he was elected.
