One day after the FBI announced the arrest of a former Agape Boarding School dean, a civil right's attorney, among other community members, is calling on state leaders to intervene.
More than 20 lawsuits have been filed against Agape.
Students of the school claim they've been abused. Some for years.
Wednesday, the FBI announced the former dean along with a mother, who was also arrested, handcuffed the woman's son and drove him from California to the boarding school.
Elad Gross, a Missouri civil rights attorney, is adamant the school needs to be shut down.
"We're talking physical abuse, we’re talking rooms where essentially it sounds like torture rooms that were designed for God knows what," Gross said.
Court records indicate a former doctor of the school is facing time in prison after being charged with several counts of abuse, including sodomy.
In 2020, five staff members were charged with abusing children.
Still, in Missouri, the school is allowed to operate.
