Yet another civil suit alleging sexual abuse of a minor was filed Thursday against Cadillac Ranch patriarch Stanley Marsh 3, according to the Amarillo Globe-News.
The newspaper said:
This one, though, is different. The plaintiff is the first to use his name. Stanton Coldiron, 21, filed suit in Potter County against Marsh, his wife Wendy, associate David Weir and two of Marsh’s entities, SM3 LLC and Barb Wire LP.
Coldiron alleges the Amarillo millionaire sexually abused him when he was 16 and paid him $500 to sign a confidentiality agreement after he turned 18.
The number of similar lawsuits against Marsh totals 11 since November, although many of those cases were settled out of court.
Marsh also recently was indicted by a grand jury on eight counts, alleging sex acts with teenage boys.
Marsh, 75, was owner of the Cadillac Ranch, an art installation near Route 66 on the west edge of Amarillo. However, since suffering a series of strokes in recent years, an attorney says Marsh no longer owns the property.
