Jan 18, 2018 – MALIBU, CA – A Malibu-based rehabilitation center was sued Thursday by a former patient who alleges he was sexually assaulted in 2017 by another patient while he was under sedation. The man’s Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit names as defendants Passages Malibu and the alleged assailant, Jordan Achterman. The suit alleges negligence, sexual harassment, fraud and battery, and seeks unspecified damages. Achterman had a history of similar conduct against other patients and was known for his promiscuity and “his frequent and boisterous proclamations of sexual interest in plaintiff and others,” the suit alleges. He often was in a “drugged, dazed and confused state” despite Passages Malibu’s ban on drug use, according to the lawsuit.
