HONOLULU — A lawsuit claims a Mormon church camp coordinator molested two boys who were sent to Maui to pick pineapples decades ago.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday on Maui says the church recruited hundreds of teen boys from Utah and southeastern Idaho to live and work in Maui pineapple fields in the 1970s and 1980s.
Jacob Huggard, 41, and Kyle Spray, 42, both of Pleasant Grove, Utah, claim in the lawsuit that they were sexually abused by a coordinator who oversaw hundreds of boys at a camp from 1986 to 1988.
The Associated Press does not normally name people in sex abuse cases, but Huggard and Spray said they wanted to be identified.
