The Christian Post reports:
New York Yankees Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera and his wife, Clara, have been accused in a lawsuit of covering up the sexual abuse of a minor in their home and at a 2018 summer camp affiliated with an Assemblies of God church they founded in 2009 known as the Refugio De Esperanza (the Refuge of Hope).
Noted as defendants are the church and 1 Brook Rye, LLC, a New York limited liability company in Westchester, listed as the owner of the couple’s nine-bedroom, nine-bathroom mansion at 1 Brook View Lane in Rye, New York.
Some of the abuse suffered by Jane A Doe, who was born in 2007, is alleged to have taken place at the mansion during a youth barbecue. Rivera played 19 seasons with the Yankees and is the only player unanimously inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The Riveras are not listed as defendants in the lawsuit.

Former MLB star, far-right pastor and major Trump supporter Mariano Rivera allegedly “isolated and intimidated” an underage girl who told him one of his employees sexually abused her more than once.
