Chase Tower businesses settle sexual abuse lawsuits linked to deceased millionaire Stanley Marsh 3

[TexasTowelie]

The Cadillac Ranch created by Stanley Marsh 3.

Four businesses involved in downtown Amarillo Chase Tower operations have reached confidential legal settlements with 10 plaintiffs who sued the entities, claiming they should have known of allegations of sexual abuse at the offices of late millionaire Stanley Marsh 3.

In February 2013, Marsh 3, his son Stanley Marsh IV, Wendy Marsh and Marsh associate David Weir settled a series of civil lawsuits filed by 10 men who alleged the Amarillo millionaire paid them to perform sex acts in his 12th-floor Chase Tower office when they were minors. The suit alleged that Wendy Marsh, Weir and Stanley Marsh IV failed to act and stop the alleged abuse.

The suits further claimed Amarillo Protective Services LLC, McCartt & Associates Inc., Sentry Property Management and Chase Tower LLC knew or should have known about the alleged abuse and failed to prevent it. All the defendants denied the suit’s claims.

“I am proud I could help these young men close this painful chapter in their lives,” Anthony Buzbee, a Houston attorney representing the plaintiffs, said in a statement. “It took a lot of courage for those first few boys to stand up and tell the truth about what was going on in the Chase Tower.”
