An eyewitness is speaking out to support a woman’s allegations of sexual abuse against her former counselor at a Christian summer camp in the mid-1990s.
The woman, identified only as Jane Doe, was 16 years old when she attended the religious Camp Awana, run by Chicago’s North Side Gospel Center, where she says counselor Cherie Carlson repeatedly molested her during the summers 1996 and 1997.
“She said she was showing me God’s love,” Doe recalled to NBC 5 in Chicago last month. “Eventually the physical demands became constant. Sometimes maybe four times a week.”
