A lawsuit was filed Thursday against Moose International Director General and CEO William Airey by a South Carolina man claiming Airey sexually abused him in 1980, when he was 12.

Moose International operates Mooseheart Child City and School, a community and school for children and teens in need. The Moose International headquarters is on the Mooseheart Child City and School campus near Batavia.

Jason Peck, of Fort Mill, S.C., filed the suit in Franklin County court in Ohio against the 71-year-old Airey, who lives in Aurora. According to the lawsuit, Airey sexually abused, molested and exploited Peck on two occasions when Peck was a minor.
