A woman who alleges that she was sexually assaulted by former VANOC CEO John Furlong says the RCMP has informed her they have found no evidence that the assaults took place.
Beverly Abraham, 55, claimed in a civil suit filed in July that Furlong molested her approximately 12 times in 1969 and 1970 while he was a physical education teacher at Immaculata Roman Catholic Elementary School in Burns Lake, B.C.
Furlong says he never abused her or another student who has made similar accusations. He has not been convicted of any offence relating to the allegations.
Abraham says that two weeks ago, an RCMP investigator informed her that they have found no evidence of the incidents and so cannot move forward with any charges.
“It’s really, honestly, hurting me. It’s hurting my heart so bad. It’s like broken into a million pieces now, and it hurts my stomach. It’s just like someone touching me all over again,” she says.
