The wife of a California inmate will receive $5.6 million after being sexually violated during a strip search when she tried to visit her husband in prison, her attorneys said Monday.
After traveling four hours to see her husband at a correctional facility in Tehachapi, California, on Sept. 6, 2019, Christina Cardenas was subject to a strip search by prison officials, drug and pregnancy tests, X-ray and CT scans at a hospital, and another strip search by a male doctor who sexually violated her, a lawsuit said.
“My motivation in pursuing this lawsuit was to ensure that others do not have to endure the same egregious offenses that I experienced,” Cardenas said.
There is a documentary on her and it is something else, she is a force of nature!
I didn’t think she practiced anymore but seeing this, I can see she still is working. And what I remember most about her is she made a lot of money in her career so when she takes these high profile cases, she does so on the cheap or pro bono. She is the worst nightmare of her opponents.
