JAMAICA PLAIN, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) — The former Chief Financial Officer of a home for troubled youth is under scrutiny amidst allegations of sexual abuse.
Tuesday, FOX25 spoke exclusively with the attorney for the accuser, who claimed George Forte, Jr. sexually abused him at the Italian Home for Children in Jamaica Plain over a period of three years.
“My client got to know George Forte, was groomed by George Forte, given gifts – things like that,” said Mitchell Garabedian, a lawyer known for his previous cases involving sexual abuse and the Catholic Church.
Garabedian said his client was 6 years old when he first came to the Italian Home for Children, an orphan with a troubled past.
“My client was lonely. He didn’t have any parents in his life, he didn’t have any love. He looked to George Forte for that,” Garabedian said.
