Nationally renowned civil rights attorney Ben Crump said he plans to move forward with a lawsuit against Louisianas agency overseeing child welfare over years-old allegations that Black children were sexually abused while in the states custody. Crump, who represents a woman claiming that she and her sibling were raped by wealthy white men when they were underaged, held a press conference to announce the lawsuit on Monday morning in Baton Rouge.
While the contents of the lawsuit were not immediately made available to the media, it is all but guaranteed to take aim at John Mack, an accused child rapist stemming from separate allegations. Crump referenced Mack last week while announcing his intentions to take up the case on behalf of the unidentified alleged victims.
SNIP-
All the details of the lawsuit were not immediately clear, but Mack who is party of a wealthy, politically dynastic family in Louisiana has been arrested twice in recent months on charges of child rape not related to Crumps client. Most recently, a judge last month denied Macks bond request for a second time as he remains held in jail on charges of first-degree rape and sexual battery allegedly committed against an underage girl.
Local news outlet the Advocate reported that Mack who has been under investigation since 2019 but was only arrested this year is accused of helping to organize sex parties with children between the ages of six and 13.
