Abuse allegations
In late 2024 two staff members at the centre faced charges involving sexual offences against youth in custody.
In November 2024, a 51-year-old counsellor was charged with sexual assault, sexual exploitation and obtaining sexual services from a person under 18. police alleged he formed a relationship with a female inmate between 2022 and 2023 and provided extra canteen items in exchange for the sexual assault. The next month a 26-year-old female corrections officer was charged with sexual assault and sexual exploitation after an investigation. She was released on bail.[3][4]
