OAK CREEK YOUTH CORRECTIONAL FACILITY SEXUAL ABUSE LAWSUITS
Fighting for Survivors Sexually Abused at Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility in Oregon
Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility in Oregon represents a devastating paradox: a place designed to protect and rehabilitate young women instead became a breeding ground for abuse. The most shocking aspect of Oak Creek’s history isn’t just the abuse itself—it’s the repeated failure of the system to intervene and protect those who depended on it.
If you or someone you love has been harmed at Oak Creek, now is the time to demand justice. Contact us today for a confidential consultation.
Were you sexually abused?
History of Sexual Abuse at Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility in Oregon
Examples of alleged abuse at the facility, and of conditions likely to lead to abuse, include the following:
- In July 2025, a woman sued former Oak Creek group life coordinator Alex Blevins, alleging he sexually abused her 10 times between 2009 and 2011, starting when she was 16. The suit says she reported Blevins to Oregon State Police in 2011. The suit further says that Blevins was fired from his job in 2014 after complaints by women staff about his sexually inappropriate comments and conduct.
- In September 2024, a lawsuit was filed alleging that a female inmate at Oak Creek was sexually abused by staff.
- In 2021, a lawsuit was filed alleging that former staff member Travis Craft groomed a female inmate, kissed her, exposed his penis, pushed her to her knees and forced her to perform oral sex on him.
- In 2018, federal data revealed that sexual abuse rates at the facility was twice the national average—about 14.3% of youth at Oak Creek, compared to 7.1% nationwide.

Who Can You Sue in a Sex Abuse Civil Case?
In a sex abuse civil case, the parties you might sue can vary depending on the circumstances of the abuse and the relationships involved.
Some potential parties that could be sued in a sex abuse civil case include:
- Individual Perpetrator: The alleged perpetrator of the sexual abuse can be named as a defendant in the lawsuit. This is often the person who directly committed the abusive acts.
- Institutions and Organizations: If the abuse occurred within an institution or organization, such as a school, church, sports club, or workplace, and they failed to take appropriate action to prevent or address the abuse, they might also be held liable.
- Employers: If the perpetrator was an employee of an organization or institution, the employer might be held vicariously liable for the actions of their employee if the abuse occurred within the scope of their employment.
- Property Owners: If the abuse occurred on a property owned by someone else, and the property owner failed to provide adequate security or take reasonable steps to prevent the abuse, they might be considered liable.
- Government Entities: In some cases, government entities might be involved, especially if the abuse occurred within a state institution or facility. Suing a government entity might involve specific procedures and limitations.
Sex abuse cases can be legally complex, so it's highly advisable to consult with experienced legal professionals who specialize in this area to understand your options and pursue the appropriate legal action. Levy Konigsberg, along with our team of sexual abuse lawyers, is available to provide assistance for your sexual abuse case.
Do I Have a Case?
You may have grounds to file a civil legal action if:
- You were sexually abused by a guard, counselor, nurse, or other youth residential treatment or juvenile detention center staff member.
- The abuse occurred at any youth residential treatment or juvenile detention facility.
Levy Konigsberg represents survivors in civil lawsuits that aim to hold youth residential treatment facilities, juvenile detention centers, private healthcare companies, and other facility operators accountable for their failures to stop abusive staff members and protect young residents.
As civil claims, these cases are separate from any criminal proceedings that may arise from abuse and focus instead on holding institutions liable for damages. This means you may still have a claim even if:
- Your abuser is no longer alive.
- Your abuser was never charged with or convicted of a crime.
Recoverable Damages in Sexual Abuse Claims
In addition to providing accountability and a sense of justice, civil sex abuse lawsuits allow survivors to recover financial compensation for their damages, which may include:
- Past medical and mental health expenses
- Future mental health expenses, including therapy, medications, etc.
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional anguish and psychological harm
- Lost income
- Other economic and non-economic damages
