NEW HAVEN >>Three women and one man are suing the New Haven East Spanish Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, claiming they were sexually abused by a church leader as children.
At a press conference Wednesday, attorneys Thomas McNamara of New Haven and Irwin Zalkin of San Diego announced plans to file four lawsuits in Superior Court in New Haven on behalf of their clients.
The four plaintiffs claim they were sexually abused by Orlando Afanador, 50, of New Haven, who is on the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection’s sex offender registry for an unrelated 2010 conviction for sexual assault of a child in Nebraska.
