The Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) is heavily invested in a health care company accused of overseeing sexual assault and neglect in its treatment facilities, where some Oregon foster children are housed after being sent out of state.

While the state Treasury acknowledged the misconduct allegations, it nevertheless increased its holding in the company, Acadia Healthcare, according to a letter obtained by The Epoch Times.
