Video of a 2023 beating, captured on CCTV, launched a criminal investigation into so-called 'gladiator fights' at the troubled Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall.

Los Angeles County on Monday agreed to pay $2.7 million to a teenager who was attacked by at least six other young people at a juvenile detention center in so-called “gladiator fights” that were allegedly facilitated by probation officers.

The then-16-year-old's lawyer says no amount of money will erase his client's pain after the altercation left him with a traumatic brain injury.
