Frivolous Lawsuit

The interesting thing about our country is that anyone can sue anybody. It's one of the mixed blessings of being in a free country.

And TLC is no exception. It's a rare year that we're not fighting a lawsuit. And we always win. But it still takes time. Plus the legal fees.

And we're in the middle of a unique one at the moment. It involves a mentally ill transexual who is suing us from his prison cell.

His allegations include repeated rapes and assaults upon him. He says they happened with management knowledge and approval. He says he suffered internal injuries.

Yet there's no evidence any of this happened. No police reports. No hospital or medical reports. Just a fanciful tale from a twisted soul who wants a payoff.

He's also suing everyone he could think of in connection with this. That includes the State of Arizona, Maricopa County, Department of Corrections and a few others. So at least we're in good company.

The worst thing is that we're wasting time and money that could go to furthering our mission of helping addicts and alcoholics.
