Sex abuse claims made against Boy Scouts near 90,000
Claimants have filed nearly 90,000 allegations of sexual abuse against the
Boy Scouts of America ahead of the Monday deadline — making this the
largest bankruptcy case ever to result from a sexual abuse liability. “As of
this morning, more than 88,500 claims have been filed since the Boy
Scouts commenced this bankruptcy on February 18, 2020,” the Tort
Claimants’ Committee, one of the parties in the case, said. “This makes the
Boy Scouts’ bankruptcy case the largest and most tragic bankruptcy ever
resulting from sexual abuse liability. More sexual abuse claims will be filed
in the Boy Scouts bankruptcy than all claims filed against the Catholic
Church throughout the nation.”
James Stang, a counsel to the Tort Claimants’ Committee, said that the Boy
Scouts of America’s bankruptcy “is literally 100 times larger than any other
bankruptcy case resulting from sexual abuse liability. The Tort Claimants
Committee’s duty is to ensure that all survivors of sexual abuse in Scouting
are fairly compensated.” Most of the claims fall between the 1960s to the
1980s — before the Boy Scouts began mandating criminal background
checks or abuse prevention training for all staff and volunteers, according
to ABC News. “As victims of abuse in the Boy Scouts, we are inspired by
the courage of so many fellow scouts who stepped forward to make known
they suffered similar abuse,” said John Humphrey, chairman of the
claimants’ committee. “We each live with the impact of abuse every day.”
The Boy Scouts filed for bankruptcy in February after the 110-year-old
organization received hundreds of lawsuits alleging sexual abuse. The Boy
Scouts will use the Chapter 11 petition to reorganize and establish a
victims’ compensation fund. The deadline to file a sexual abuse claim for
this case is Monday at 5 p.m., but victims who miss that deadline can still
file suits against local Boy Scout councils in states that have
“victim-friendly” statute-of-limitations laws, such as New York, New Jersey,
and California,” according to attorney Jason Amala, who is part of a legal
team representing more than 1,000 claimants.
In a statement, the BSA said it was “devastated by the number of lives
impacted by past abuse in Scouting.” “The response we have seen from
survivors has been gut wrenching,” the organization added. “We are deeply
sorry.”

Perhaps if they had an LBGTQ badge or a path to become a rainbow scout... (extreme sarcasm)
After the cub scouts I absolutely refused to become a boy scout because I thought the scout leader was a freak. 12 year kids know somehow...
