“the suicide investigation was launched yesterday,” said Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Public Affairs Coordinator Eunice Baker.
According to the lawsuit, Ancil Harvey Gordon III was the victim of Groover’s sexual acts from 1983 to present day. Gordon claims that Groover had “used LSD, alcohol, MDMA, cocaine and other illicit substances to lure and otherwise attract” him.
Gordon had only wanted to take Groover to trial for monetary damages to his life. He claims the because of Groover, he has suffered “extreme anguish” that has impacted and affected every aspect of his life. The lawsuit also came to fruition because Groover had moved close to Gordon, where he could potentially watch Gordon’s family, including his children.
Groover was a Dominican priest and had a unique relationship with his sister-in-law. Seen had considered Groover her “spiritual advisor.” So, our thoughts go out to Deen during this difficult time.
