$4M Settlement for Police Explorers Molested in California
An attorney says victims molested by a Southern California police officer while participating in the department’s Police Explorer program have reached a $4 million settlement in a civil lawsuit.
Anthony DeMarco says Wednesday that his law office agreed to a deal with the Irwindale Police Department and Learning for Life, the group that runs the explorer program.
It comes a year after a previous settlement totaling $2.75 million involving another victim of Officer Daniel Camerano, who supervised youngsters in the explorers program. He pleaded no contest in 2014 to a series of sex crimes involving underage girls between 14 and 17 years old. He was sentenced to more than two years in prison.
