<br>
<br>
The Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA) has been operating<br>
under the burden of a massive and difficult legal battle that has<br>
critically drained resources and caused significant ongoing<br>
difficulties for the organization. In October 2011, the board of the<br>
SCA and its legal counsel were finally able to resolve this issue, but<br>
not without significant financial costs.<br>
<br>
The Board of Directors and Officers of the SCA continue to make<br>
significant efforts to be as transparent as possible, but since the<br>
case related to the heinous sexual abuse of several minors, we<br>
naturally have been and continue to be unable to discuss many aspects<br>
of the case.<br>
<br>
Background:<br>
<br>
Several years ago, a former SCA member named Ben Schragger was<br>
convicted of the sexual abuse of multiple children that he allegedly<br>
met through the SCA from 1999-2001. He was sentenced and is currently<br>
serving a 62-year prison sentence. The Board, of course, permanently<br>
revoked his SCA membership.<br>
<br>
After an initial civil lawsuit was filed and dismissed in 2007 against<br>
the SCA, a second civil lawsuit was filed in 2009 claiming that the<br>
SCA should be held liable for Mr. Schragger?s wrongdoing.? The lawsuit<br>
also asked that the SCA be held liable for allegedly not having<br>
effective policies in place at that time to protect these children.<br>
Three SCA participants who were local officers during this time were<br>
also named as defendants in the lawsuit. The Plaintiffs in the lawsuit<br>
demanded Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00) in damages from the<br>
SCA. In accordance with Corpora and the Bylaws, the SCA agreed to<br>
indemnify the three individual local officers who were named in the<br>
lawsuit.<br>
<br>
The SCA immediately tendered the lawsuit to its insurance companies<br>
and one insurer agreed to cover the SCA?s attorney?s fees incurred in<br>
defending the lawsuit.? All other insurers refused to cover defense<br>
fees or indemnify the SCA in the event of a settlement or judgment.<br>
<br>
In 2010, both insurance carriers threatened to file suit in Federal<br>
Court. They wanted a Federal Court judge to rule that the insurance<br>
policies did not cover the 2009 lawsuit and did not cover the defense<br>
or indemnification of the SCA or its officers in the 2009 lawsuit.? As<br>
a protective measure, it was necessary for the SCA to file a<br>
pre-emptive lawsuit against both insurance carriers, demanding payment<br>
under the policies.? In this lawsuit the SCA demanded coverage in<br>
California, where the SCA is headquartered. The SCA has been required<br>
to pay the attorney representing the SCA in this lawsuit against the<br>
insurance carriers.? It stands to reason that payment of these fees<br>
has left the SCA in a precarious financial position.<br>
<br>
?In October of 2011, the victims agreed to settle for $1,300,000.00.<br>
This settlement was presented for approval to both the SCA?s insurers.<br>
The acceptance of this offer provides the SCA, Inc .with the<br>
assurance that there will be no further lawsuits brought by the<br>
victims of Ben Schragger and thus brings to a close the financial and<br>
legal risk to the Kingdoms, officers, and the SCA as a result of the<br>
lawsuit.? One insurance carrier agreed to pay $450,000 of the<br>
settlement amount.? The other insurance carrier has refused to<br>
contribute to the settlement.? Therefore, the SCA has been forced to<br>
pay the remainder of this settlement, $850,000. This brings the total<br>
cost to the SCA for both the settlement and the related legal fees to<br>
over $1M.<br>
<br>
The SCA is continuing its lawsuit against the insurance carrier that<br>
refused to contribute to the settlement and is seeking repayment of<br>
the full $850,000.<br>
<br>
Current Status:<br>
<br>
To meet the terms of the settlement, and cease any further litigation<br>
against the SCA, its Kingdoms, and their officers with respect to Mr.<br>
Schragger?s abuse, the SCA is now forced to pay $850,000 for the<br>
settlement within a short timeframe.?The SCA is continuing its suit<br>
against the non-paying insurance carrier, which has a trial date set<br>
of May, 2012.<br>
<br>
The SCA corporate office simply does not have this much in cash,<br>
assets or cashable dollars.? While the corporate office of the SCA has<br>
managed the burden of our shared liability to date, it has been the<br>
entirety of Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. that has been<br>
liable for damages under this lawsuit. In order to the meet the terms<br>
of the settlement without financially crippling the SCA, its<br>
subsidiaries or any single branch, it has thus become absolutely<br>
necessary that each Kingdom located in whole or in part in the United<br>
States, both Pennsic and Gulf Wars, and the subordinate Corporate<br>
level checking accounts contribute an equal percentage of their<br>
separate total cash assets to the settlement and associated legal<br>
fees.?The other wars will contribute as part of the Kingdom through<br>
which they report.<br>
<br>
The SCA's financial advisors have conducted extensive financial<br>
evaluations, and have determined that our mutual obligations to settle<br>
these liabilities will require 18% of each of those applicable<br>
accounts be contributed to the settlement.? This 18% contribution by<br>
the account holders listed above will finally resolve the current<br>
financial issues and mutual liabilities we are all facing. ?By sharing<br>
the burden of our obligations equally, we can avoid any significant or<br>
unfair burdens to any one of our individual groups while protecting<br>
the integrity of the SCA as a whole, our shared Society, and our<br>
mutual ?dream.?<br>
<br>
Should the ongoing lawsuit against the insurance carrier prove<br>
successful, the funds that were provided by account holders described<br>
above, would naturally be returned to each on a pro rata basis of the<br>
recovered amount, once legal fees are settled.? Though there are no<br>
guarantees that this will happen or when it will happen, the Board is<br>
committed to pursue recovery of those contributions.<br>
<br>
The relevant Kingdom officials will be contacted shortly to discuss<br>
the contribution formula and the amount each account holder (as stated<br>
above) will have to contribute to settle our mutual legal obligations.<br>
<br>
We recognize you will naturally have many questions, and we ask that<br>
these be addressed to the appropriate Kingdom Ombudsman, who will<br>
endeavor to respond as soon as possible. While we are committed to<br>
getting get back to you as quickly as possible, we do ask for some<br>
patience and understanding as this process is extremely difficult. In<br>
addition, we have held a series of conference calls with the reigning<br>
monarchs, seneschals and exchequers of all Kingdoms to more fully<br>
explain the issue and address their concerns, all of whom are also<br>
available to address questions.<br>
<br>
The Board of Directors, Corporate officers and Society officers are<br>
doing everything possible to resolve this issue to the best outcome<br>
possible. Your understanding and support of our mutual<br>
responsibilities are deeply and fervently appreciated as we move<br>
forward.<br>
