My father was molested by his Scout Master in the 1970s. He was not his first victim, but he was the one who lead to his arrest.
Unfortunately, there were people who suspected such and criminally turned a blind eye.
My scout master did time in state prison for abusing my friends. He is in the BSA “perversion files.” Some older scouts defended the pedo and beat up one of the younger scout victims to keep him quiet. I joined the troop right as all this was happening and was not directly involved. In hindsight I can see the pedo started grooming me but fortunately he was caught due to leaving pics of scouts in a house after he moved out.

He wasn’t the only one, not by a long shot. And it wasn’t just Scout Masters doing it. This is entirely the fault of the leadership of the Scouts. They knew about it and did almost nothing to stop it.

File a case on his behalf.
Really.
These pervs need to be outed and punished.
My point was that the church has been doing this for centuries and covering it up. It needs 25x7 coverage the way the Scouts have been destroyed.
