Lawsuit: Longtime trainer at Eastern Montana HS groomed, sexually abused as many as 100 boys

During his 28 years working as an athletic trainer for the Custer County District High School in Miles City, James “Doc” Jensen groomed and sexually abused as many as 100 boys, according to a lawsuit filed Friday.

The suit, filed in Custer County District Court in Miles City, names Jensen as a defendant, along with the Miles City Unified School District, the high school, and John Does A-Z representing as yet unnamed school and athletic officials who may have known of Jensen’s alleged sexual abuses and failed to stop him.

“This was a structured, sophisticated system of ritual sexual abuse,” said Miles City attorney Daniel Rice, who filed the suit with his partner Bryant Martin and Billings attorney John Heenan.

At least 18 victims already have been identified, and “that’s just the tip of the iceberg,” Heenan said.

on all sexual abuse and rape, just like Maryland. Young girls and boys are abused and suffer for a lifetime while their abusers get a free pass after a certain amount of time passes.

Just watching what is going on in Washington DC is proof that we must do all we can to protect victims. While other areas are making a little headway to call out abusers (sports, entertainment and a few companies) our very own federal government turns a blind eye and deaf ear.
