WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Baseball Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera and his wife, Clara Rivera, are facing backlash online after being accused of covering up child sex abuse at their church’s Christian summer camp. Clara is the head pastor of the church, Earlier this month, a lawsuit was filed in the New York Supreme Court on Thursday, accusing them of turning a blind eye to a young girl who was being s*xually ab*sed. The girl and her family were members of Westchester County’s Refuge of Hope Church, but the incident allegedly took place back in 2018 at the Ignite Life Center in Gainesville. Jane Doe, who was a minor at the time, was ab*sed by Ruben Tavarez Jr., the son of the Refuge of Hope associate pastor Ruben Tavarez Sr. “Rather than take sufficient action to end the s*xual ab*se of Jane Doe, the Riveras each separately isolated and intimidated Jane Doe to remain silent about her abuse by MG to avoid causing trouble for Refuge of Hope and the Ignite Life Summer Internship,” the court documents state. Jane Doe’s expenses were covered by Mariano and allegedly, children were at the camp without any parental supervision.
