WASHINGTON - A Utah man remains on presidential candidate Mitt
Romney's state finance committee despite his ties to an organization
that a lawsuit alleges abuses children. Robert Lichfield, who helped
launch the Worldwide Association of Specialty Schools (WWASPS), held
a fundraiser for Romney in southern Utah earlier this year that
raked in more than $300,000 and has been a top financial supporter
of the former Massachusetts governor and other Republicans in recent
years.
Lichfield, meanwhile, is named in a
federal lawsuit alleging that students of the schools associated
with WWASPS were subjected to "physical abuse, emotional abuse and
sexual abuse." An amended complaint in U.S. District Court in Utah
lists 140 plaintiffs.
Mel Sembler, former owner of
Straight, Inc., a drug
rehabilitation program for youth, sits on Mitt Romney's National
Finance Chair. According to the
www.melsembler.com website, Mel
Sembler, the current Ambassador to Italy, was the former Ambassador
to Australia. He has been a financial supporter of the Bush clan, a
big-time land developer in Florida, Georgia and Alabama, a Graduate
of Northwestern University in Chicago, and the founder of a
nationwide cult that brainwashed and abused children for nearly 20
years.
