Mariano Rivera, who spent his entire MLB career in the New York Yankees, has been added as accused in a lawsuit. Rivera’s wife, Clara Rivera, also appeared as accused of a demand for amended sexual abuse filed by an unidentified girl and her mother.
USA Today Sports obtained a copy of the new complaint after the Westchester County Court appeared on April 25.
The original demand, filed in January, claimed that the young woman was the victim of a major individual during the events linked to the church that co -founded the Riveras.
The Church is located in Westchester County, New York, and Clara appeared as the main pastor.

The Riveras were not appointed accused in the initial presentation. Instead, the Church, the Refuge of Hope, and Brook View Rye, LLC were listed as accused. The limited liability company lists the direction of the old Riveras house, which they sold in 2022.

In the previous presentation, the Riveras were accused of taking inappropriate measures to protect the girl who appears as Jane Doe in the complaint. The complaint alleges that an assault occurred in “approximately summer of 2018” in a New York house that had the riverbank at that time.
According to the demand, the alleged abuse occurred in a barbecue that the children who attended the church were invited. However, the parents of the children who attend did not receive invitations, according to the demand.

The details of the modified demand were consistent with the initial presentation. In both files, the rivers supposedly ignored the girl’s sexual abuse and “isolated and intimidated” in an effort to ensure that he was silent about the alleged incident.
“Instead of taking enough measures to end Jane’s sexual abuse, the Riveras, each separately, isolated and intimidated Jane to a Cierva to remain silent about her abuse to avoid causing problems for refuge and the summer internship of Ignite Life,” says the demand.
“To avoid the potential scandal of child sexual abuse in their programs and protect the defendants above all others, the Riveras, in their abilities as agents and/or employees of the defendants, assured the mother a doe that Jane a Doe was sure and endangered in Ignite Life Center, despite the real or constructive knowledge that Jane a Doe remained vulnerable to the additional laws of sexual abuse.”

Joseph A. Ruta, a lawyer who represents the riveras, said the accusations against their clients are “completely false.”
The plaintiff is looking for a jury and compensatory and punitive damage.
Rivera, 55, is five times World Series champion and 13 times there of the MLB. It was included in the National Baseball Hall in 2019.
