A new report argues a yearslong abuse scandal from a prominent former director at Branson-area Kanakuk Kamps was more widespread and systemic than reported before.
The report, published Sunday on The Dispatch, includes new documents, interviews and analysis about the years Peter Newman rose from the ranks of counselor to camp director and how he abused young boys along the way.
Newman pleaded guilty to seven counts of sexually abusing boys in 2010 and received a sentence that would put him in prison for the rest of his life, but that was just "the tip of a terrible iceberg," the report states.
"The true dimensions of the worst Christian sex abuse scandal you've never heard have long been largely unknown," the report states. "Newman's initial arrest and sentencing received little media attention. ... Moreover, the limited scope of the guilty plea concealed the sheer scale of the abuse. The resulting civil lawsuits received little attention, and nondisclosure agreements silenced victims and kept evidence under seal."
