	Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Filed by Edmund J. Scanlan against Mormon Priest & Church of Latter-day Saints PR Newswire February 24, 2009 http://sev.prnewswire.com/banking-financial-services/20090224/AQTU53824022009-1.html CHICAGO, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- A lawsuit was filed on February 24, 2009, in the Circuit Court of Cook County by attorney Edmund J. Scanlan on behalf of his client, Markeisha Kite. The lawsuit alleges that Christopher W. Kite, her adopted father, sexually abused Markeisha beginning in 1991 when she was four years old. The abuse continued through 2001 when DCFS removed the girl from the home due to her complaints of sexual abuse. The suit also alleges that David Bromley, brother-in-law of Christopher W. Kite, sexually abused Markeisha in Kite's home from 1991 through 1996. In 2002 Markeisha obtained an order of protection against defendants Bromley and Kite. The Mormon Church is named as defendant in the suit because Kite sexually abused the minor Markeisha on at least ten occasions in the church facility at 2727 West Lake Street in Wilmette, Illinois, and as an ordained priest of the church, Kite was under direct supervision and control of the church. The suit seeks damages for childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault and battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Attorney Edmund Scanlan said, "The facts in this case are tragic. It is unforgivable that she had to live with this abuse for so many years." Contact Attorney Edmund Scanlan at 312-422-0343. Contact: Mike Houlihan (312) 431-8700
