GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) - A lawsuit filed against the Campbell
County Fire Department by 16 plaintiffs who say they were molested by a former Gillette fire chief has been settled.
Gillette attorney Jeremy Michaels says his clients were psychologically scarred and the resolution of the lawsuit on Friday
is in everyone's best interest.
Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
The plaintiffs say they were sexually abused by former Campbell
County fire chief Gary Scott, who in September pleaded no contest
to 14 state charges of sex abuse and is awaiting sentencing.
The 55-year-old Scott is already serving a 24-year federal
sentence on 10 felony convictions of taking children across state
lines for sexual abuse.
