California hit by another huge fraud bombshell as thousands of claims for $4 BILLION in taxpayer-funded compensation meant for sex crime victims are FAKE, investigator says

California has been rocked by another alleged massive fraud scheme that has reportedly seen billions of taxpayer dollars intended for victims of child sex abuse being allocated to people who filed fake claims.
Los Angeles County had agreed in April last year to pay over $4 billion to settle more than 11,000 claims of sexual abuse at county-run juvenile halls, foster homes and a notorious children's shelter.
The claims, many of which stretch back decades, came after the Golden State changed its statute of limitations to give victims who were sexually abused as minors a new window to sue.
But District Attorney Nathan Hochman claimed in a court filing on Wednesday that he believes a whopping four out of five claims for which the county is paying the largest sex abuse settlement in American history are fake, the Los Angeles Times reported.
There was even evidence that some recruiters had paid people to file bogus claims.
Hochman asked the judge overseeing the bulk of the sex abuse cases to pause the payments for six months while he continues his investigation into the plaintiffs, lawyers and therapists behind the claims in the largest sex abuse settlement in American history.
The law that extended the statute of limitations was intended as an attack on the Catholic Church, extending the time limit back into years where records would be lacking (= making defense against claims difficult or impossible). Ironically, counties and school districts are getting hit harder ... and fraudsters have come out of their sewers hoping government agencies would be less than diligent in fraud detection.

At this point, hearing new revelations about fraud in Democrat-controlled states seems about as routine as making my bed in the morning.

DHS Says That It Won't Follow Virginia’s Dangerous Unmasking Policy for ICE
https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/06/12/dhs-says-it-wont-follow-virginias-dangerous-unmasking-policy-for-ice-n4953905 (https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/06/12/dhs-says-it-wont-follow-virginias-dangerous-unmasking-policy-for-ice-n4953905)
Praise the Lord, the Trump administration is finally standing up to an unlawful and dangerous piece of Democrat lawfare.
The U.S. Justice Department announced on June 11 a complaint to challenge Virginia Democrats’ requirements to identify and unmask federal immigration officers, amid a massive rise in violence against them. “Law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to keep Americans safe, and they do not deserve to be doxed or harassed simply for carrying out their duties," said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. "Virginia’s anti-law enforcement policies regulate the federal government and are designed to create risk for our agents. These laws cannot stand.”
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agrees, which is why, no matter what the result of the DOJ complaint, federal immigration officers will not be putting themselves in even more danger of violence. “We will NOT comply with [Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s] unconstitutional mask ban,” DHS replied to the DOJ on June 12.
The DHS clarification continued, “Our law enforcement officers are facing a coordinated campaign of violence including a more than 1,300% increase in assaults and an 8,000% increase in death threats. Our officers wear masks to protect themselves and their families. Thank you to @TheJusticeDept for continuing to stand with the heroic men and women of our law enforcement.”
DHS to Spanberger: "Come at me, sis!"

Brady Hopping Mad That Feds Won’t Violate Federal Law to Further Their Name-And-Shame Campaign
https://www.shootingnewsweekly.com/gun-control/brady-hopping-mad-that-feds-wont-violate-federal-law-to-further-their-name-and-shame-campaign/ (https://www.shootingnewsweekly.com/gun-control/brady-hopping-mad-that-feds-wont-violate-federal-law-to-further-their-name-and-shame-campaign/)
The Brady gun control group is hopping mad that their “name-and-shame” charade no longer enjoys government support. They’re so mad, in fact, the group is suing to force the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to violate federal law, risk law enforcement safety and release data so they can twist a media narrative to falsely accuse firearm retailers for the criminal misuse of firearms.
Brady filed a lawsuit at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to force the DOJ and ATF to answer their Freedom of Information Act request for information surrounding the Demand Letter 2 Program. That program, begun during the antigun Clinton administration, requires firearm retailers to provide additional information to the ATF when 25 or more firearms are traced back to them subsequent to the recovery at a crime scene and the time from retail sale to trace is three years or less (what ATF calls “time-to-crime”) in a calendar year.
This information is protected from public release, and for good reason. The Tiahrt rider, which has been reauthorized by Congress since it was passed in 2003, restricts public access to sensitive, law enforcement-only firearm tracing data. This restriction is supported by Congress, ATF and law enforcement groups such as the Fraternal Order of Police because it secures sensitive tracing information which would jeopardize ongoing criminal investigations and put the lives of law enforcement officers, cooperating retailers and witnesses at risk.
Brady would rather have their media “name-and-shame” narrative instead of protecting the lives of law enforcement investigating illegal firearm trafficking cases.
The evidence-less presumption of the Brady Hoplophobes is that 25 trace-backs proves the dealer has violated some law. The confidentiality allows law enforcement to investigate and either prove there were law violations or there were not. If there were law violations, the dealer would be prosecuted and lose their license if found guilty (that trial being public record). The Brady Hoplophobes know/understand this and are targeting gun dealers who were cleared of wrongdoing.
