The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on Monday that twenty men are suing Darlington School in Rome over allegations of sexual abuse that happened decades ago.  While the statute of limitations is passed for criminal charges, the men are attempting to sue the school’s insurance company at the time of the alleged abuse. The twenty men are seeking $345 million in damages.  According to the AJC, “The former students recently settled a lawsuit against Roger Stifflemire, a longtime teacher and dorm supervisor at the Darlington School in Rome. Although Stifflemire was not required to compensate the former students, the settlement cleared the way for the former students to pursue an insurance settlement for themselves.” Stifflemire is now eighty-one-years-old and lives in Alabama.  His attorney says that Stifflemire would cooperate with the former students’ efforts to collect from the insurers.  Stifflemire had never admitted to any wrongdoing.  You can read more about this story in the AJC HERE
