Some info from the Calontir list.
Here is the complaint against the SCA which was originally filed:
http://www.soloffandzervanos.com/pdf/5.5.07%20Complaint.pdf
One paragraph, which is particularly important in regard to continuing
to allow children at SCA events is:
<<< 20. The SCA offers opportunities for minors to become active in
SCA related
activities. As a result, members, including Benjamin Schragger, have
had abundant and frequent
contacts with minors and access to minors, including the minor
plaintiffs. Many of these events
included minor children and sought to involve such minor children in
SCA activities conducted
and organized by Benjamin Schragger and/or the SCA. >>>
Hopefully the other points decrease the importance of this point by
itself. Again, this is the original complaint and not the findings of
the court itself. I also note this simply calls out "member" and not
SCA officer or "Head of the Page School". So this might be read to
imply anyone having contact with children needs a background check. I
would hope not.
Another interesting point:
<<< 24. Plaintiffs bring this action for physical, mental and
emotional damage caused to
the minor children between 1999 and 2003 by the Defendant SCA,
Benjamin Schragger and
other persons as a result of Defendant's negligence and/or reckless
acts. >>>
Someone had asked how long had this happened before the pervert was
caught and punished, and when was the suit finally filed. It appears
that the suit was not filed until at least four years after the events
happened and three years after the pervert was convicted.
