Hare Krishnas sued for child abus
DALLAS (AP) — More than three dozen former
students of Hare Krishna boarding schools have filed
a $400 million lawsuit against leaders of the religious
community, alleging years of sexual, physical and
emotional torture.
The 44 plaintiffs in the suit allege child abuse
over two decades at boarding schools in the Unit
ed States and India.
The federal suit, filed Monday morning in Dallas,
names the International Society of Krishna Con
sciousness (1SKCON) as lead defendant, along with
17 members of the group's governing board of top
leaders and the estate of the movement's founder, A.
C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
Plaintiffs' attorney Windle Turley called the abuse
"the most unthinkable abuse and maltreatment of lit
tle children we have seen. It includes rape, sexual
abuse, physical torture and emotional terror of chil
dren as young as three years of age."
Anuttama, a Hare Krishna spokesperson, said
the organization planned to comment on the law
suit Monday.
Turley said the abuse started in 19721
ISKCON's first school in Dallas, and continuedij
other U.S. schools and two in India.
He said he believes more than halfofthechi
in the schools were victimized.
"We believe the facts, as they are developed,!
reveal more than 1,000 child victims, many oh
have already taken their own lives or are todaye
tionally and socially dysfunctional," said Tinj
whose Dallas law firm won millions in a sex a
case against the Catholic Church.

It is a shame to see how much

disappointing to see the new
