Making a Passages –

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 suit alleges negligence, sexual harassment, fraud and battery, and seeks unspecified damages.

He often was in a “drugged, dazed and confused state” despite Passages Malibu’s ban on drug use, according to the lawsuit.
