An update on the seven lawsuits filed recently in Olmsted County related to admitted abuser Richard Hokanson:
Each of the seven victims is seeking in excess of $50,000 from the St. Pius X Catholic Church in Rochester, as well as the Gamehaven Council and The Boy Scouts of America.
Hokanson was a scout leader of a troop based at the St. Pius X Catholic Church. He was employed by each of the organizations. The plaintiffs say they were sexually abused by Hokanson between 1969 and 1981.
The defendants wrote in court documents that “there is little doubt that estimated damages could exceed $100,000 per victim.”
