County seeks to dismiss search suit

McMINNVILLE — Yamhill County’s juvenile officials want a federal judge to throw out a class action lawsuit filed over strip searches.

Last June, a group of young people and their parents sued alleging the facility subjects inmates to unconstitutional strip searches.

The six plaintiffs included two boys charged with sexually harassing girls at Patton Middle School. The lawsuit contends policy mandates searches on admission, even when there is no basis to suspect concealment of contraband.
