Garvey, the college and board of trustees chair Marlene Mosco. The Rosenthals file d a writ of sum- mons on Oct. 10 that signals they have considered filing a full civil complaint against Garvey, Mercyhurst and Mosco at a later date. “Our positions with regard to Garveyare on the record,” Peter Rosenthal told the Erie Times-News. “What is happen- ing in Erie is happening everywhere and it is time for Erie to deal with the realityof who Garvey is.” According to the school’s attorneyRichard Lanzillo, a writ of summons only commences a lawsuit, but does not state allegations. Lanzillo said that one reason lawyers file writs of summons is to beat the expiration of the statute of limitations for filing a civil suit. In Pennsylvania, according to Lan- zillo, the current statute of limitations for sexual abuse extends up to 12 years after the victim turns 18. All three Rosenthals are between the ages of 45 and 55. Lanzillo would not comment on the current proceedings of the case. Meghan Corbin, spokeswoman for Mercyhurst, said the college had no comment. The filing of the summons comes two years after Chuck Rosenthal alleged in articles published by the Times-News that Garvey physically and sexuallyabused boys – including Rosenthal – over 30 years ago, while coachingboys’ basketball at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. Amid the allegations, Garvey announced retirement in December 2004 and stepped down in February2005 after 25 years as president ofMercyhurst. Mosco and Chuck Rosenthal could not be reached for comment. By Joshua Wilwohl Editor-in-chiefDr. William P. Garvey File photo Andy Finkel photo
