Former basketball coach immortalized as “Lefty” in Jim Carroll’s memoir “The Basketball Diaries” has been branded a serial sexual predator in a new lawsuit.
James Sullivan, who is one of the named plaintiffs in the lawsuit, said he was 11 when Archibald started abusing him at the club in 1958 and abused him multiple times later at Rockefeller University under the guise of providing medical treatment.
Located in the Kipps Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, the MSBC opened its clubhouse on East 29th St. in 1940 as a refuge from what were then mean streets and a place “for neighborhood boys to go and engage in various activities, including basketball, swimming and other sports,” the suit states. "Nothing is more important to Madison than the safety and well-being of the children we serve, and we have strict policies in place to make sure our club members are safe at all times and that our staff is trained to identify and report any signs of abuse," the organization said.Carroll, a writer and punk musician who died in 2009, described his encounter with Antonucci in the first chapter of his memoir, which was published in 1978.
In the complaint, the accusers described how Antonucci squirted ketchup and mustard on one boy’s genitals and other instances of abuse that involved “tying the boys’ penises together and throwing cold water on them.”
