New York Yankees legend Mariano Rivera and his wife are accused in a lawsuit of failing to protect a young girl who was sexually abused by an older child during a summer camp trip sponsored by their church.

The five-time World Series champion broke his silence on the bombshell lawsuit claiming he and his wife ignored and covered up alleged child sex abuse.

Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera and his wife, Clara, have denied allegations of covering up sexual assault of a child stemming from a lawsuit filed by a teenage girl, identified as Jane Doe. The complaint alleges Jane Doe was sexually abused multiple times at an event connected to a church where Clara Rivera is a senior pastor.
