LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles County has reached a tentative $828 million agreement to settle more than 400 additional sexual abuse claims against county employees, months after approving the largest sexual abuse settlement in U.S. history, officials said Friday.

The agreement still needs approval from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. The county approved the historic $4 billion settlement in April for thousands of claims of sexual abuse in juvenile facilities since 1959, officials said.

It also comes as the county investigates allegations that some people included in the $4 billion settlement were paid to file claims. A Los Angeles Times investigation reported that nine plaintiffs said they were paid to sue, and four of them have said they made fraudulent claims.
