A former behavioral health clinician in Contra Costa County faces seven felony charges, including sexual assault and possession of child pornography, after allegedly engaging in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old client she was assigned to while he was in juvenile detention — and even after his release. The teen’s family is now suing the county, claiming the youth was groomed and left unprotected during a vulnerable time. Drotts was arrested on a tip, has not yet pleaded, and the case is set to move forward as authorities seek justice for the victim and address systemic failures in oversight.
