McMINNVILLE, Ore. (AP) -- Yamhill County's juvenile officials want a federal judge to throw out a class action lawsuit filed over strip searches.

Last June, a group of young people and their parents sued alleging the facility subjects inmates to unconstitutional strip searches.

The six plaintiffs included two boys charged with sexually harassing girls at Patton Middle School. The lawsuit contends policy mandates searches on admission, even when there is no basis to suspect concealment of contraband.

It argues that the policy violates constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure and seeks $2 million in punitive damages and other damages to be determined.

The county argues that the defendants failed to prove their case and that the statute of limitations has expired in some instances.
