The plaintiff claims that the defendants failed to put sufficient policies and procedures in place to prevent child sex abuse.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment in an amount that exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the court and any other relief the court deems just and equitable. He is represented by Marc J. Pearlman of Frost Pearlman LLC in Bannockburn and Jeffrey R. Anderson of Jeff Anderson & Associates PA in St. Paul, Minn.
