From the article: The Boys Scouts of America and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by a Portland man who said they didn't do enough to stop a Scout troop leader from sexually abusing children...The lawsuit alleges the leader of a Boy Scout troop in Nampa in southwestern Idaho sexually abused the plaintiff over three years in both Idaho and Oregon starting in 1967, and that the abuse left him with debilitating physical, emotional and mental injuries...The suit said the troop was jointly operated by the Boy Scouts and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Nampa ward of the church "called" the troop leader to educate and minister to LDS families and their kids, the lawsuit said.

Scouts are at risk now...that will increase if the homosexual activists have their way...

“If you think healthcare’s expensive now, just wait until it’s free.”

If you think sex abuse is bad now, wait until the BSA “normalizes” faggotism/pedophilia.

How can anyone defend himself against claims of offenses that happened about 40 years ago?

I think you are having a problem with your bold tag. For some reason the phrase The Boys Scouts of America is preventing the tag from including that key part of the bolded sentences. Strange. I think you need to switch browsers. You had another IE problem on another thread you just posted where it left out the very last, and important paragraph.

Colofornian ... maybe you should lay off your hatred obsession for a while, and get a life.

Isn't there a statute of limitations about such crimes?

And then there is the problem of false memory syndrome and fake lawsuits.

I'm not saying abuse didn't occur, I'm just wondering why it took so many years for the suit to happen. Is there a “paper trail” suggesting he revealed it in the past to a counselor etc?

You always post about abuse, so maybe you might want to know that 20 percent of gay teenaged boys and 5 percent of heterosexual teenaged boys have had intercourse below age 13, according to the CDC.

So you can’t just point fingers at a church you dislike when a sexual predator pretends to be religious to target kids.
