Nearly a dozen more teenagers who were or are in custody at the Tulsa County Juvenile Justice Center have been added to a federal lawsuit. The lawsuit accuses center employees of rape, neglect, and harassment toward those in custody at the center. . .
One teenager says while he was in custody there, he was forced to remove his own stitches after being denied a follow-up appointment with a doctor. Others say they were denied medication they were prescribed, or the medications brought in by their parents were given to other kids. . .
These new allegations come after 20 victims have now accused detention staff of rape, child abuse, and harassment. Two former employees named in the suit, Jonathan Hines and Dquan Doyle, have been charged with felonies in Tulsa County.
Hines is being charged with human trafficking, soliciting a minor for indecent exposure, and destroying evidence. Doyle is being charged with sexual battery, indecent exposure, and aiding a minor in a drug crime.
