The new suit includes a new allegation that Richard Roberts and ORU
gave ''a convicted sexual deviant unrestricted access to the students
of the university.''
The suit doesn't identify the person, but says that prior to his
association with the school he had confessed to crimes in Tulsa, Tulsa
County and Payne County.
''All three allegations of sexually-deviant conduct resulted in
convictions,'' the suit says.
The person was hired at the direct personal instruction and under the
supervision of Richard Roberts, the suit says.
The person, identified as a ''Mentor'' for ORU students, ''confessed
to the facts regarding exposing himself to a fifteen year old boy in a
school locker room,'' the suit says.
....................................................................................................
Most of the elements of the Cantees report are similar to allegations
in an early version of the former professors' lawsuits, but more
details are added to several of the allegations, especially
allegations involved Lindsay Roberts and an unnamed teen boy.
The report says that dead-bolt locks were installed on all bedroom
doors at the Richard Roberts residence at the insistence of his oldest
daughter.
''This was precipitated by Mrs. Roberts repeatedly moving into the
home her 16 year old male 'friend,' which made her daughters
uncomfortable,'' the assessment says.
The assessment also says:
''Mrs. Roberts has personally spent the night in the ORU guest house
with an underage male on nine separate occasions.''
The report also says there are photos of Lindsay Roberts and an
underaged male smoking at the president's residence, and 29 photos of
her and an underage male alone in her sports car after midnight.
The assessment goes on to say a longtime employee was fired so the
same underage male companion could have the position.

Revised lawsuit against ORU makes new allegations
By Staff reports
Document: Read the revised lawsuit.

Three former Oral Roberts University professors have amended their
lawsuit against the school, and have included an internal report
detailing allegations against ORU President Richard Roberts, his wife
and others.
The new suit adds a new defendant to the case -- the ORU regents --
and two new allegation, negligence and civil conspiracy.
Oral Roberts University officials, including President Richard
Roberts, declined to comment after hours on Friday because they had
not seen the amended lawsuit, a spokesman said.
The new suit includes a new allegation that Richard Roberts and ORU
gave ''a convicted sexual deviant unrestricted access to the students
of the university.''
The suit doesn't identify the person, but says that prior to his
association with the school he had confessed to crimes in Tulsa, Tulsa
County and Payne County.
''All three allegations of sexually-deviant conduct resulted in
convictions,'' the suit says.
The person was hired at the direct personal instruction and under the
supervision of Richard Roberts, the suit says.
The person, identified as a ''Mentor'' for ORU students, ''confessed
to the facts regarding exposing himself to a fifteen year old boy in a
school locker room,'' the suit says.
The suit also alleges that three days after the original lawsuit was
filed earlier this month, the school's financial comptroller, a
26-year ORU employee, was fired.
''Within hours of this loyal employee's unceremonious removal from his
office, witnesses have reported that voluminous materials and
documents were shredded and destroyed....''
The new suit also includes a copy of a report one of the fired
professors allegedly gave to ORU officials shortly before he was
fired.
The report says it is a Scandal Vulnerability Assessment and was
prepared by Stephanie Cantees, Richard Roberts' sister-in-law and the
community and governmental liaison for the Oral Roberts Ministry.
