The latest in a growing number of lawsuits against the Boy Scouts of America has been filed, claiming that the organization didn’t do enough to protect young boys from sexual abuse at the hands of numerous adult scout leaders.
The Boy Scouts of America has repeatedly apologized to victims of alleged sexual abuse as lawsuits have been filed through the years, and the same is true in this latest case. The suit goes on to say that the scoutmaster"utilized physical, emotional and spiritual force and persuasion to impose his moral will upon the then minor S.D. in order to commit grievous, unspeakable acts of sexual abuse upon the person of then minor S.D. all of which acts constitute flagrant abuse of the symbolism, power and authority of his position as an Assistant Scoutmaster."
The lawsuit alleges that the boy went on to suffer “profound physical, emotional and psychological harm” which included “sleeplessness, nightmares, anger, depression, anxiety, loss of well-being, and/or self-destructive and abusive behavior in his adult life.” The lawsuit states that the Boy Scouts did not do enough to warn the public – and the boy involved in the suit – about the “pervasiveness of sexual abuse of boys by an alarmingly large percentage of BSA’s adult scout leaders” and that led to his “profound physical injury, severe emotional distress, severe depression, anxiety, embarrassment, pain and suffering, humiliation, loss of vocation and loss of earnings, loss of faith and an inability to live a normal life.
