Cadence mag founder Bob Rusch sued for alleged sexual abuse of children

[Mark Stryker]

This is awful stuff.

I missed the Wall Street Journal stories from 2014 in which Rusch was first accused of sexually abusing middle school students when he taught at a private school in Brooklyn in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Rusch confessed to some of the charges in one of the stories. He’s now being sued.  If I understand correctly, the suit is only now possible because of a new law in New York that allows for a “look-back” in child sex abuse cases that does away with previous statute-of-limitations restrictions. 

(Coda: I reviewed records for Cadence early in my career in the late  ‘80s and early ‘90s.)

I remember reading the WSJ stories.

I missed those also. Some people said it has been known for decades. He is a monster.
