ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A Sanford Christian mission has reached a settlement with a woman who filed a lawsuit against the group alleging abuse by a man who worked at one of its boarding schools.
New Tribes Mission reached a settlement with the woman who says she was repeatedly sexually assaulted nearly 30 years ago in Africa by a "dorm dad" at the school.
Attorneys for the woman and the mission confirmed the recent settlement of the lawsuit but said they couldn't discuss terms because of a confidentiality agreement.
The Orlando Sentinel (
