A sixth lawsuit has been filed against the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Fe, accusing former executive director and onetime Santa Fe Mayor Louis Montaño of sexually assaulting a boy in the 1970s and ’80s.
The man is the sixth person to accuse Montaño of sexually grooming, abusing and manipulating individuals since April 2019. The group includes five men and one woman who say Montaño abused them during his tenure at what was then called the Boys Club of Santa Fe.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday by Albuquerque-based law firm Hall & Monagle LLC, which specializes in representing survivors of child sex abuse and has brought cases against Catholic organizations and the Boy Scouts of America.
