    Claim filed in Richmond teacher molestation case; South Bay Boy Scout connections probed

    The civil claim, which was denied Wednesday by the county board of education, is the first filed in the Guinto case, and a first step in filing a lawsuit. It alleges school officials negligently supervised the boy which led to the sex abuse and harassment ... The claim details Guinto's alleged abuse and harassment of the boy in October 2013, during activities at Guinto's company, Camp Epic, based in Vallejo. The boy alleges he was abused while on sleepover trips with other campers, which is consistent with what investigators have said happened.

"There was in fact an incident with that Webelos den, which was sufficiently serious to warrant a formal complaint being filed with the Council," Agee wrote in an e-mail. "Among other matters, there was a concern that he had gotten parent proxies for two or three kids and was acting as their parent participant."
