Civil suit seeks $750K in damages from business, caregiver accused ...World: news, information, headlines and events in Lawrence, Kansas 12/16/18, 11:48 AM <br />In total, the lawsuit claims numerous points where the defendants are at fault, <br />including: <br />• Breach of contract <br />• Negligence <br />• Civil conspiracy <br />• Battery <br />• Assault <br />• Outrageous conduct causing severe emotional distress <br />• Kansas Consumer Protection Act <br />• False imprisonment <br />Throughout Jan. 1 and Feb. 28, 2015, Shinn allegedly abused Schaefer and the <br />second man, according to a criminal complaint filed in Douglas County District <br />Court. <br />On June 3, 2015, police were called by the Kansas Department for Children and <br />Families in Lawrence, who reported the abuse, the affidavit says. A sister of one <br />of the men and another caregiver provided information. <br />An arrest affidavit is a document filed by police explaining why a suspect was <br />arrested. Allegations in an arrest affidavit must still be proved in court. Shinn is <br />still awaiting a preliminary hearing where she can respond to the accusations. <br />The lawsuit argues Shinn forced Schaefer and other disabled residents to fight <br />each other, "running what amounted to a `fight club."' <br />Shinn would also use the men's money — allotted for activities — for food and <br />supplies instead, the affidavit says. Under her care the two men were sharing <br />basic toiletries such as a razor. <br />http://www2.ijworld.comlnews/2016/jul/25/civil-suit-seeks-750000-damages-caregiver-accused/ Page 4 of 5 <br />
