A Maine man has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the Department of Corrections and more than a dozen individuals alleging abuse and “deliberate denial” of treatment while he was confined in the state’s youth detention center.
In the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court this week, the plaintiff claims he was subjected to excessive isolation, restraint and force as well as sexual assault over a span of six years while intermittently held at the Maine Youth Center in South Portland. He also alleges he was deliberately denied “adequate rehabilitative treatment” for his severe attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and denied “his right to an appropriate education.”
