California Therapist Faces Seven Felony Charges In Alleged Abuse Of Teen Client
Prosecutors say the therapist used her role to groom the boy for months, and the complaint includes seven felony counts.
- On Monday, Contra Costa County prosecutors charged 26-year-old Sofia Ann-Buitron Drotts with seven felonies, including unlawful sexual intercourse, for allegedly grooming a minor at the John Davis Juvenile Detention Center in Martinez.
- The family of the teenager, identified as John Doe, filed a claim alleging Drotts 'abused her position as his therapist to establish an inappropriate emotional connection' beginning when the boy was around 15 years old.
- Prosecutors allege the relationship continued after the boy's release from custody, with the pair engaging in sexual activity between April 1 and July 14 of this year while he remained under probation supervision.
- Following a tip from the Probation Department, Concord Police arrested Drotts on July 14, as attorney John Burris argued the conduct 'violates every moral, legal, and professional standard meant to protect vulnerable clients.'
- The family's claim alleges the clinician's conduct 'went overlooked and unreported for months,' raising questions about how Contra Costa County's oversight failed to protect the minor in its custody.
