Former Yankees closer Mariano Rivera and his wife, Clara, are facing a lawsuit alleging they covered up child sexual abuse that occurred at a summer camp connected to their church and at their home. The Riveras deny the accusations, stating they first learned of the allegations four years after the alleged incident and are confident the lawsuit will not hold up in court.
Former Yankees closer Mariano Rivera and his wife, Clara, are denying the accusation that they covered up child sexual abuse that allegedly happened in their Rye, NY home and at a summer camp connected to their church.
“Mariano and Clara Rivera do not tolerate child abuse of any kind and allegations that they knew about or failed to act on reports of child abuse are completely false,” Joseph A. Ruta, the Riveras’ attorney, said in a statement on Thursday. “The very first time they heard about these allegations was nearly four years after the alleged incident, when in 2022 a New York attorney sent a letter requesting a financial settlement.
Mariano, the only player in baseball history to be unanimously elected to the Hall of Fame, is now the pastor at the Refuge of Hope church in New Rochelle, which supports the camp where the alleged abuse is said to have occurred.According to court documents, Jane Doe complained to her mother about the alleged abuse, which she says happened during a 2018 summer internship at the camp.
The complaint reads: “Rather than take sufficient action to end the sexual abuse of Jane Doe , the Riveras each separately isolated and intimidated Jane Doe to remain silent about her abuse by MG to avoid causing trouble for Refuge of Hope and the Ignite Life Summer Internship.”
