Lawsuit alleges teen was sexually assaulted by a DSS contractor while in foster care

GREENWOOD - A 17-year-old with special needs was sexually assaulted by an employee of a foster-care services provider that contracts with the state’s child welfare agency, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court this month.

The complaint, filed this month in a U.S. District court, alleges that the teen, now 18, was sexually assaulted in March 2016 by a driver with the S.C. Youth Advocate Program. The driver, the lawsuit alleges, was taking the boy from Greenwood, where he was visiting his family, back to the Columbia-area foster home he was living in at the time.
