A teen in juvenile hall was allegedly sexually abused by his assigned therapist, Sofia Ann-Buitron Drotts, who groomed him starting at age 14—then continued the abuse even after his release. County officials are accused of ignoring red flags and failing to supervise Drotts, allowing the abuse to persist. The case erupted when the teen violated probation, leading to a home search that uncovered evidence. Drotts, 26, was arrested but is no longer in custody as prosecutors review charges. The family is now suing Contra Costa County, naming multiple agencies, claiming this was the first time authorities acted—after the abuse had already caused lasting harm.
