Mercy Corps was aware of Culver's sexual abuse yet allowed him to remain
in leadership roles and travel the world on their behalf for another 10
years.
In 2019 the Oregonian released a 10 month investigation regarding
credible sexual assault and child abuse allegations against Culver by
his daughter Tania Humphrey. Within the investigation, it came to light
that Mercy Corps was notified of the allegations twice, in 1994 and
again in 2018. Both times they deemed there was 'insufficient evidence',
and in 1994 Culver was forced to change positions but remained with
Mercy Corps for a decade more. There is substantial evidence of further
victims within the US and also abroad in areas he worked. After the
investigation in 2019 multiple executive leaders within Mercy Corps
resigned in response to the claims of misconduct by the company.
In 2019, Culver's daughter, Tanya Culver Humphrey, publicly alleged that
Culver had sexually abused her for a period of ten years, starting when
she was a young child and continuing into her teenage years.
