The unnamed sexual assault victim of the former camp counselor of The Citadel in South Carolina is receiving a payout worth $788,000. Further reports say the mother of the victim initially filed the lawsuit in December 2011 regarding the incident.

In May 2007, The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina received information that camp counselor, Louis “Skip” ReVille, now 44, engaged in sexually inappropriate acts with several children under the age of 16 at a summer camp back in 2001 and 2002. Thereafter, in December 2011, the mother of a sexual assault victim filed the initial lawsuit.

According to McLeod, the lawsuit revealed that The Citadel shared the information they had investigated with the South Carolina Insurance Reserve Fund. However, reports say the same information was not shared with law enforcement, the parents of the sexual assault victim, and the future employers of ReVille.
