MISSOURI
The Turner Report

A Friday, September 7, meeting has been scheduled in U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, to hear arguments from Kanakuk officials and the family that is suing them about Kanakuk’s refusal to turn over names of sexual abuse victims of former camp director Pete Newman.

Lawyers representing the victim, referred to in court records as John Doe, are asking for the names to reveal a pattern of abuse by Newman that Kanakuk officials allegedly allowed to continue for years.

Newman is now spending two life sentences in a Missouri prison.
