Juvie Custodian Arrested for Rape of Juveniles

(Los Angeles, California) In June 2007, a 34-year-old Central Juvenile Hall custodian, Kimberly Hald, was arrested for sexually abusing a 17-year-old male inmate. Hald was suspended from her position without pay and released after posting bond. The case continued to be investigated.

Today, Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) detectives reported an update in the case.

The Robbery-Homicide Division’s (RHD) Detectives assigned to the Cold Case Special Section closed an investigation when Kimberly Hald was arrested and booked on charges for rape and kidnapping. Hald was booked at LAPD’s 77th Jail Section with bail set at $495,000.

Last year, LAPD detectives began an investigation into allegations of inappropriate sexual relationships between Hald, a female Los Angeles County Probation Department employee, and juvenile males being detained at Eastlake Juvenile Detention Facility.

The LAPD detectives arrested 35-year-old Hald at her residence in San Pedro.
