On February 29, 2025, at 11:00 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jacob Salem met with Alicia Rogers, Protective Services Program Manager of A.B. Jessie and Polinsky Children’s Center (PCC) to deliver the finding for the above-stated allegation. The investigation was conducted by Special Investigator (SI) Laarni Santiago. Interviews were conducted with a former client (C1), staff (S1), and a probation officer. Former client (C2) was not interviewed despite multiple attempts. Pertinent records were obtained and reviewed.

On October 17, 2024, Community Care Licensing (CCL) received an allegation that staff (unnamed) sexually abused minors (C1 and C2) while in care. It was reported that C2 disclosed to law enforcement that C1 and C2 were sexually abused while living at Polinsky and indicated it was by a staff member. A conflicting confidential interview indicated that C1 did not experience any abuse, sexual or otherwise, while living at the facility, and that C1 and C2 did experience abuse in a former home, but not at PCC.

A record review indicated that C1 lived at the facility from 2023 to 2024 and C2 lived at the facility briefly in 2009. Although SI Santiago was unable to interview C2, a review of pertinent records did not reveal any prior disclosure of abuse having occurred at PCC. However, SI Santiago was not able to confirm that with C2.

Based on confidential interviews and records reviewed, the allegation that staff sexually abused minor in care may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated at this time.

An exit interview was conducted with Alicia Rogers, Protective Services Program Manager and a copy of this report and appeal rights were provided.
