LTRP Note:<\/strong> Follow up to our earlier news stories,\u00a0 Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa named in Child Sexual Abuse Lawsuit <\/a>\u00a0and Feedback on Article about Calvary Chapel and Child Sex Abuse Case <\/a><\/p>\n

COEUR d’ALENE –<\/strong> Attorneys for Pastor Robert “Bob” Davis of North Country Chapel in Post Falls and the California-based parent church Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa asked a judge Thursday to dismiss a lawsuit filed against them alleging a failure to protect children from a sexual predator.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit, filed in August 2011 in 1st District Court, names four men as plaintiffs who said they were sexually abused as teenagers in 2000 to 2003 by a man who was known to have targeted boys in the past.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit names the perpetrator as Anthony L. Iglesias, who is currently being held in a Boise prison because of convictions in Kootenai County for lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor. Iglesias was in his early 20s when he allegedly had sexual contact with the four boys. The alleged victims today are in their early 20s.<\/div>\n

A separate and previous lawsuit names North Country Chapel and Calvary Rathdrum as defendants, saying Iglesias provided youth services for both institutions while targeting the boys. That case is pending.<\/p>\n

Also named in the newer lawsuit, and asking the court for dismissal, is Calvary Chapel Outreach Fellowship, which like Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa is based in Santa Ana, Calif. Calvary Chapel Outreach Fellowship affiliates new pastors and churches to the Calvary Chapel family of churches.<\/p>\n

District Court Judge Benjamin Simpson didn’t rule on the requests for dismissal following arguments from the defendants’ attorneys and Coeur d’Alene attorney Leander James, who represents the four alleged victims in the two church cases.
