New York is paying $3 million to the family of a developmentally disabled boy repeatedly molested by a staffer at a state-managed group home in Oneida County.
The former staffer, Stephen DeProspero, is now in prison. In legal documents obtained by The Associated Press, DeProspero said the state home was a "predator's dream" because of the lax supervision of workers.
He's accused of repeatedly molesting a developmentally disabled boy at the Central New York Developmental Disabilties Services Offices in Rome.According to legal documents, DeProspero photographed and filmed himself molesting the boy at least six times from 2005 to 2008, with some of the abuse occurring in open areas.
