The way the commissioner handled this is embarrassing. $2 million fine? For covering up the sexual abuse of a player by one of the employees? Fuk me. And the reason given when questioned about the paltry sum? "Well they'll also have to pay out compensation " or words to that effect. Not to mention because it was covered up the abuser was free to abuse a 16 year old hockey player after he "resigned". He did 9 months in jail for that. Fukkin pathetic.

Popular Post GersInCanada 7,775 Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 The club is being sued by up to 25 victims and lawyers say 'several' more have come forward with harrowing allegations in recent weeks. celtic will be served with legal papers after a judge gave the green light to a US-style “class action” lawsuit against the club by sex abuse survivors. Up to 25 victims of historical abuse at celtic Boys Club launched a multi-million pound damages claim using new powers under Scottish law. Now judge Lord Ericht has allowed the case to move to the next stage which ensures lawyers for celtic FC will need to answer the allegations. A hearing took place at the Court of Session in Edinburgh on Thursday and a summons is expected to be served on celtic within the next fortnight. Thompsons Solicitors Scotland acts for 25 survivors. Patrick McGuire, a partner with the firm, said the summons will set out the alleged relationship between celtic and celtic Boys Club. celtic previously said it was “appalled by any form of historic abuse” but maintained it is a “separate entity” to the boys club. Four men associated with celtic Boys Club or celtic have been convicted of abuse. Just over a month ago, Thompsons paid for a public notice to be published in the Record - a required first step in the “group proceedings” action - which urged other survivors to come forward. Since then several people contacted the firm with claims they suffered abuse and may now join the group case. Following Thursday’s hearing, Thompsons had to pay for a second public notice in today’s Record to again alert possible claimants about the “super case”. Mr McGuire said: “This group action against celtic has leapt the first hurdle. This an important milestone in the fight for justice for abuse survivors. “The court has authorised the papers to be formally served on celtic. That means in due course - probably early next year - the club will have to provide a formal written response to the case we set out in law. “We expect there will be a hearing before a judge in the new year. “This should leave celtic in absolutely no doubt that we’re serious about this fight and will pursue it with absolute commitment. This process will continue until justice is secured. TamCoopz, surfsup2, Straight-Edge-Loyal and 7 others 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either too emotional for them to come forward or they’re waiting to see how this all pans out. I think once the prospect of financial compensation becomes realistically tangible then many more victims will be attracted to the action as it appears this is the only way that they will receive any form of recognition of their abuse by that club. I also can’t believe the difference how this is being treated here (our insular and bitter little country of late) in comparison with the alleged historical ‘racism’ allegations facing Yorkshire cricket club. Sponsor withdrawal, large scale MSM condemnation and resignations from the top. Any form of racism is a disease and needs dealt with however compare the inaction, deflation and denial of actual physical and emotional abuse of children on an industrial scale, truly disheartening and sickening in the extreme… Malkster, ronniescu, Land Rover and 7 others 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
