The Greenville County Rockstar Cheerleading and Dance location has been closed indefinitely amidst ongoing sexual misconduct lawsuits.
Two separate lawsuits were filed last week against Rockstar Cheer and its now deceased owner, Scott Foster, on charges of sexual misconduct against children in the program.
The lawsuits allege that Scott Foster, as well as other company coaches, participated in sexual acts with underage girls on multiple occasions and that the company was aware and covered up the actions.
Tuesday night, Scott Foster’s wife, Kathy Foster, announced the indefinite closure of the Greer Rockstar Cheer location and released a further statement Wednesday morning:
“Last night I announced that Rockstar Cheerleading and Dance is closing its doors indefinitely. Although this was a difficult decision, I believe it is the best option under the circumstances. Over the past 15 years, our incredible athletes have worked hard to build a winning legacy and I will always be extremely proud of each of them. I ask for privacy for my children and for those personally affected during this difficult time.”
Scott Foster took his own life last month while an investigation into sexual misconduct was underway by the Department of Homeland Security.
