A 2016 lawsuit alleging sexual abuse in a Zelienople youth service program was settled earlier this week for “an adequate sum of money.”

According to the unnamed minor's lawyer, Michael Pisanchyn Jr., the lawsuit was settled privately outside of court with Glade Run, a nonprofit that provides youth services.

“The matter has resolved through settlement for a full and adequate sum of money. Paperwork is being filed today in regard to finalizing the monetary settlement,” the law firm announced in a statement Dec. 31, explaining “that the family of this child will be able to adequately care for his needs for the rest of his life.”

Pisanchyn also said he would bring two other lawsuits against Glade Run over other claims of sexual abuse. One case, Pisanchyn said, involved a 9-year-old. Pisanchyn said the abuse occurred in 2013 and that he expects to file the lawsuits within the next 10 days.

Glade Run is a nonprofit that provides mental health and education services to more than 4,000 youths and adults with facilities in Butler, Cranberry Township, Zelienople, Beaver Falls, Pittsburgh and Sharon. According to its website, the organization focuses on education, mental health and autism.
