Also, I haven't had time to highlight specific parts to take note of from this, but here is a PDF file from the end of 2011 from the State of Florida's Department of Juvenile Justice Bureau of Quality Assurance Program Report for Sequel Youth and Family Services' Kissimmee, FL Juvenile Correctional Facility.

It's on "New Beginnings Road." *sigh*

I've been at this too long today, and I need to go to bed, but I'm still haunted by this quote from the Sequel website, in reference to the Three Springs Madison program:

"In our safe environment, our students learn to verbalize needs, feelings, and goals without fear of abuse, and learn to function effectively in a cooperative society with other teens. "

Overcompensating much?

KALAMAZOO – A teen who says he was sexually assaulted while he a resident at a Kalamazoo facility for troubled youths testified Tuesday that he didn’t call out for help because he feared repercussions.

“I was afraid … he would try to blame it on me, that I was doing something wrong,” said the teen, who was 14 at the time of the alleged assault on March 14, 2009.

Kimeon Tyrone Bolden, 28, of Kalamazoo, is standing trial in Kalamazoo County Circuit Court on five counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct for alleged encounters with the teen. If convicted, he could face up to life in prison.

Bolden was a youth counselor at Lakeside Academy, 3921 Oakland Drive, where the teen was a resident.

During the opening day of testimony Tuesday, Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety detective Christina Ellis testified that Bolden told her there was no inappropriate action between him and the teen.

“He said he wasn’t necessarily surprised because of the way (the teen) was … but at the same time he was surprised the allegation was made,” Ellis testified. “At one point he said maybe (the teen) had dreamed it.”

A Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office detective testified during Bolden’s preliminary examination in June that Bolden told him a month after the incident that he had sex with the boy. Bolden said he had fallen asleep at work and awoke to find the boy had unbuckled his pants and was performing a sex act with him, according to that testimony.

Ellis testified on Tuesday that Bolden said the only way his DNA would be found in connection with sexual contact with the teen was if something had happened when he was asleep. But Bolden said he was “100 percent sure” nothing had happened, Ellis said.

Testimony, expected to include discussion of DNA evidence, was to continue this morning.

KALAMAZOO — A former counselor convicted of sexually assaulting a resident at a Kalamazoo facility for troubled teens was sentenced Monday to nine to 30 years in prison.

Kimeon Tyrone Bolden, 28, faced up to life in prison after a Kalamazoo County Circuit Court jury convicted him in April of five counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. At his sentencing Monday, Bolden apologized to his victim, who was 14 at the time of the March 2009 assaults.

“I was the adult and I knew better,” Bolden said before being sentenced by Kalamazoo County Circuit Judge Gary C. Giguere Jr.

In tears, Bolden also turned to a group of friends and family sitting in the courtroom and said, “I love you and thank you for your support.”

Giguere noted before sentencing that Bolden had an exemplary record and letters written in his support that read like a “who’s who” of clergy in Southwest Michigan. “If you were going for a job with these kinds of recommendations, you’d be a shoo-in,” the judge told Bolden.

But there was another side of Bolden that presented itself the night of the assaults, Giguere said. “The acts for which you stand convicted are depraved,” he said.

Bolden told an investigator he was groggy from working an overnight shift as a youth counselor at Lakeside Academy, 3921 Oakland Drive, and drifted to sleep but awoke to find the teen committing a sex act on him, according to testimony at the trial.

The victim, now 16, testified that he was initially afraid to tell anyone what happened for fear he would be blamed. There were five sex acts committed within a 24-hour period, he said.
DNA matching Bolden’s was found on the teen’s clothing, according to trial testimony.

A lawsuit filed by the victim’s mother on his behalf is ongoing in Kalamazoo County Circuit Court. It names Bolden, Lakeside and Sequel Youth & Family Services, which provided staffing for Lakeside. A case evaluation is scheduled for August.
