A 45-year-old Florida woman has filed suit today in Barnstable Superior Court against Faith Willard, Hope Willard Brooks, and the Society for Christian Activities, Inc., d/b/a "Camp Good News", located in Falmouth.
The plaintiff alleges that she was sexually abused between the ages of 7-9, during three summers when she attended Camp Good News, in 1973 - 1975, by a male camp employee.
The abuse allegedly took place in a girls' bathroom, and was witnessed by a camp counselor.
The plaintiff Cheryl A. Madden, 45, of Daytona Beach, FL said, "child molestation hell is what they put me through."
Camp Good News denies charge
Shortly after today's news conference Camp Good News released a statement denying all the allegations.
The Boston Globe reports that Ms. Madden said, camp owner Hope Willard Brooks called her in February shortly before Brown was about to make his revelation, and told her that the senator would not be naming the camp. She also asked Madden if she planned to go public with her abuse. Madden said she did not plan to do so and that the camp should admit to its mistakes.
