Court overturns MN revenge porn law

Survivors of the sexual abuse that occurred decades ago at Children’s Theatre are haunted by an idea: It could happen again. Not necessarily at the same place; Children’s Theatre has gone to lengths to put the safety of children above every other consideration in the years since its founder, John Clark Donahue, ended his career in disgrace. None of the current staff have any connection to the scandal that erupted in the 1980s, when Donahue was convicted of abusing three boys. The survivors are less confident about the community. Dozens of people — former students, family members, and others in the community — say that Donahue’s abuse of children in his care was an “open secret.” But few people actually attempted to do anything about it.
