After settling a lawsuit last year for an undisclosed sum, the Springfield-based national office of the Assemblies of God is again being sued in Oregon over child sex abuse allegations.
Six men sued the General Council and other church entities in February, claiming they were sexually abused in the 1980s by two volunteers in the Assemblies of God’s Boy Scouts-like Royal Rangers program in Oregon.
A similar lawsuit was filed in 2016, and a financial settlement was reached in that case in October, according to the plaintiffs’ Portland-based attorney Gilion Dumas.
