The county has agreed to settle a lawsuit involving a man who was wrongfully listed as a sex offender.

Yakima County will pay local man Damian Garza Cantu $115,000 after someone else’s criminal convictions of third degree rape were mistakenly placed on his record.

A statement from the Board of Commissioners announced June 5, 2018 the county will pay for the full settlement.
