PORTLAND – A former Shelton man will file a lawsuit against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also known as the Mormon Church, today concerning childhood sexual abuse, according to a news release from his attorney Kelly Clark.

The news release stated that the case will be filed in King County Circuit Court in Seattle, and stems from the alleged abuse by a Mormon Church-sponsored Boy Scout leader in the town of Shelton.

Clark frequently handles child sexual abuse litigation on behalf of adults who were abused as children, in cases against churches, the Boy Scouts, schools, and other youth organizations.

This case is part of a handful of abuse cases Clark will file today in San Francisco, Portland and Seattle all against the Mormon Church, four of which also name the Boy Scouts as defendants. Clark works out of the law firm of O'Donnell Clark & Crew in Portland.
