Would this ruleing cover older people? Like with TWIT cases? If so then any new sexual abuse cases against leaders in TWIT should be able to use this ruling in the plantiffs favor for any new cases.
It is a state ruling, applying only in Massachusetts. But, if this type of judicial logic were to make its way to Ohio...
Ohio has a 1 year limitation on sexual harassment cases. But if they were reclassified as a breach of fiduciary duty, as they should be, TWI could be facing what the RC Church in Boston is -- multiple lawsuits for sexual abuse going back 25 years.
It is not inconcievable that if this were to occur, given the number of people abused by TWI, they could face bankruptcy.
Yeah, a dead man can't defend himself and now his wife can't even help convict him since she's got alzheimer's. I still think it could be done as a class action lawsuit, there's too many women who have been abused. Sad thing is they would have to relive all that horrible stuff and I couldn't blame them for not wanting to.
But.. I wonder- what about the limb/region/trunk bigshots that took advantage of their position? Most of those numbnuts are still alive and kicking. I think the fact that some left da ministry would be irrelevant.
Poor ole rosey.. her knees would knock together if she could just lose a few pounds..
Damn, you paint the grossest pictures. I can now imagine Rosey losing some weight, but the skin not shrinking with it, her knees trying to knock together, but ending up just being a muffle -- like having blankets between the knees.

It should, although the fact that he's dead might throw a kink in things.

Yes, I'm begining to see the value in leaving the past in the past. I couldn't blame them either for not wanting to relive it.
