As an adult, Trey sought accountability. He filed a lawsuit against the camp in an effort to hold the camp responsible and to seek justice not only for himself, but for others. But Instead of justice, Trey was offered a settlement. And that settlement came with a non disclosure agreement which mandated Trey silence.
