A lawsuit filed Thursday against a South Carolina cheerleading gym names 100 "Jane Doe and John Doe" defendants accusing the gym and its parent company of facilitating sexual abuse against minors across state lines for years, according to local reports.Scott Foster, the co-owner of Rockstar Cheer in Greenville, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on Aug. 22, according to the lawsuit."This was a factory of abuse designed specifically to generate two things: a constant supply of underage victims for Scott Foster and his fellow predators and a billion dollar revenue stream to Varsity Spirit, USASF and Bain Capital," Strom Law Firm attorney Bakari Sellers said in a Thursday statement. "Instead of protecting these young men and women, they victimized them and cashed their checks."Foster and his wife of 21 years, Kathy Foster — the co-owner of Rockstar Cheer — had recently learned of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) investigation into their company amid allegations that Scott Foster was "sexually abusing underage athletes, as well as taking underage athletes across state lines for the purposes of engaging in sex," the lawsuit filed in a South Carolina district court first obtained by FOX Carolina states.The lawsuit also accuses Varsity Spirit, LLC; Bain Capital, LP; and the U.S. All Star Federation (USASF) of creating "a competitive environment soliciting young athletes to cross state lines with minimal parental or adult supervision, to converge at pre-scheduled locations where the athletes would then be exposed to drugs, alcohol, and predatory conduct by adults including coaches and choreographers, all while publicly representing that Defendants were providing a culture of safety at these same events."
