A Northbrook man, undergoing a trial for his alleged sexual abuse of a child is suing the parents of the victim and the Lake Forest Day camp where he worked, for defamation.
David Goodman, 22, a former camp counsellor accused of sexually abusing a child has stated in a lawsuit filed by him last month in Cook County Circuit court that he never abused the 5 year old and that the Banner Day Camp where he worked, defamed him by sending out 1500 e-mails about the case.
Goodman alleges that as a result of the case his reputation has been injured and he has suffered severe emotional distress, humiliation and embarrassment.
Asking for over $50,000 in damages, Goodman pleaded not guilty on February 4 to four counts of criminal sexual assault of a child and four counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Goodman had to turn himself in, in December last year after a warrant was issued against him for the act that allegedly took place in the summer of 2007.
