Rockstar Cheer, the South Carolina-based cheerleading gym, is facing a lawsuit that has 100 “Jane and John Doe” plaintiffs. All were minors when they claim they were sexually abused by the late co-owner, Scott Foster.
Foster, 49, was found shot dead in his car on Aug. 22 at Paris Mountain State Park. The Greenville County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a suicide.
Rockstar Cheer lawsuit
In the lawsuit, the gym and its parent company are accused of facilitating sexual abuse against minors across state lines over 15 years.
The lawsuit claims that Varsity Spirit, LLC; Bain Capital, LP; and the U.S. All-Star Federation (USASF) created “a competitive environment soliciting young athletes to cross state lines with minimal parental or adult supervision, to converge at pre-scheduled locations where the athletes would then be exposed to drugs, alcohol, and predatory conduct by adults including coaches and choreographers, all while publicly representing that Defendants were providing a culture of safety at these same events.”
