New Jersey to close detention center where 50 men say they were sexually abused as boys
Fox News
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has reaffirmed his commitment to closing the state's largest youth detention center following allegations of sexual abuse by 50 men.
In a statement Thursday, Gov. Phil Murphy's spokesperson, Tyler Jones, said the Democratic governor is "committed to the responsible closing" of the school, first announced nearly six years ago. The challenge is that the closure would require creating three additional facilities, one each in northern, central and southern New Jersey, and so far only two have been set up, the statement said.
