BOSTON — Attorney General Maura Healey may have shown herself to be a worthy foe to the firearms industry, but gun manufacturers have shown they are game when it comes to taking to the courts to fight back.
Remington Arms, the North Carolina-based gun giant, is the latest company to take on Healey. Earlier this week Remington filed a civil suit in Suffolk County Superior Court against Healey, alleging her office is conducting a "fishing expedition" under the guise of consumer gun safety, according to a Boston Business Journal report.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — At least one in five girls who attended the elite boarding school St. George's in the 1970s was sexually abused by the same athletic trainer, according to a report issued Thursday documenting widespread abuse there.
An independent investigator looking at sexual abuse at the school found that at least 31 girls were abused by trainer Al Gibbs. The report also found nine other school employees sexually abused at least 20 other students in the 1970s and 1980s, and at least 10 additional students were abused by fellow students.
