Parents Sue Maine Camp for Sexual Assault

Alexis and Orland Birbragher, the parents of a boy who was allegedly sexually assaulted at camp in 2017, have filed a lawsuit against Robin Hood Camp.

According to the lawsuit, their son, who is now 14, was sexually assaulted by three other campers and the camp owner, Rick Littlefield, downplayed the severity of the attack. During his first discussion about the incident with the teen’s parents, he allegedly said it was just minor horseplay. The camp also never reported the attack to the state and released the teens before police could investigate.

According to a Hancock County Sheriff’s Office incident report filed in U.S. District Court, Littlefield told investigators that his attorney said that the incident wasn’t severe enough to require a call to the police.

“It was outside his clothing only,” according to the report written by Sheriff’s Deputy Jeff McFarland.

“The camp’s reputation and financial interests were put before the rights and safety of [the victim] and other campers. The failure to report the crimes caused [the victim] to suffer damages and for the perpetrators to avoid any type of accountability for their egregious conduct,” the lawsuit states.

Christian Foster, the family’s attorney, said that family is asking for $75,000 in damages because that’s the minimum amount needed for a civil lawsuit.

“What my clients want, the monetary thing, is somewhat incidental to them. They want some changes there so that some other kid doesn’t get this treatment,” Foster said. “That’s part of any resolution that we seek, that they [Robin Hood Camp] have the policies and procedures in place to train the staff and enforce” safety regulations.

The camp’s attorney, Paul S. Douglass, said he hopes to have a formal response to the allegations within 10 days.

“You can rest assured that we are denying the substantive allegation that there was an inappropriate response to this complaint voiced by the plaintiffs,” he said.

This was an awesome experience with Brittney Cassiere, Miriam Calisher, and my attorney Jill. What made me select Cohen & Cohen for my case, was my experience many years ago with Kim Brooks-Rodney. I definitely recommend anyone to use them. They have your best interest at hand.

I am very satisfied with the services provided by Cohen and Cohen. They were able to settle my case within less than a year and settled a fair amount in which I was expecting. They communicated very well throughout the process as well as made sure all boxes were checked off to ensure i received the best care and communication. I will recommend the services to anyone in these situations. Riley and Brittney were certainly very helpful during the process.

Lucas Baudry was my rep for this accident claim, and even though I had LOADS of questions and was a bit impatient, he was always responsive and quick to reply. We’re wrapping up now, and I really feel like he tried to have the best results in the end, and didn’t drag it out more than need be.
