"It’s the largest pedophile ring on earth," attorney Tim Kosnoff said during a Tuesday press conference discussing a new lawsuit against the organization.
Nearly 800 former Boy Scouts claimed in a recent lawsuit that the Boy Scouts of America failed to protect them from sexual abuse at the hands of troop leaders and others in positions of power.
The lawsuit claims that those 350 new abusers do not appear in the Boy Scouts’ disciplinary files, also known as the “perversion files,” which were published in 2012 and listed alleged abusers in the BSA organization. The accused include police officers, teachers, members of the military, doctors, a mayor and a child psychologist.
The lawsuit was filed by a victim, identified only as “S.D.,” in Philadelphia’s Court of Common Pleas. The defendants listed include the BSA national organization and the BSA Penn Mountains Council in Kingston, Pennsylvania, where S.D. said he was abused. The complaint also lists S.D.’s alleged abuser Paul Antosh, a BSA assistant scoutmaster.
Boy Scouts of America responded to the lawsuit in a statement to HuffPost, writing that the organization cares “deeply about all victims of abuse and sincerely apologize to anyone who was harmed during their time in Scouting.”
