The LA Times rooting out predatory homosexual molesters? Seems an argument to me that the Boy Scout’s vetting process should be even stronger.
No. This is the beginning of what will be a wave of these stories. The Oregon State Supreme Court recently upheld a decision to require the BSA to turn over thousands of records going back decades on Scouting volunteers who were reported, or banned, from Scouting, including for non-sexual abuse.
Abuse occurs in all Scouting units with various types of sponsors. The case at issue, involving Scout Leader Timur Dykes, wasn't a Catholic unit as seemingly suggested above. It was an LDS unit in the Cascade Pacific Council where the bishop to whom Dykes confessed did not report the incident, and Dykes was subsequently allowed to serve in two additional positions.
The COJCOLDS settled out of court. The BSA and the Cascade Pacific Council did not. The jury found all three parties (BSA, CPC, and LDS) liable, and ordered the BSA to turn over the records.
