The more-than-80,000 sexual-abuse claims filed in the Boy Scouts of America bankruptcy case represent only a "fraction" of the members victimized by pedophiles, a lawyer for the survivors said.

During the youth group's chapter 11 reorganization, doubt has been cast, including by a consultant for the official survivors committee, on how the number of sexual abuse claims has grown to more than 82,200 during the bankruptcy from fewer than 2,000 before. But Kenneth Rothweiler, a victims' lawyer who will also sit on a seven-member committee helping to oversee a proposed $2.7 billion trust to compensate victims, testified Wednesday that an "epidemic of pedophilia" explains the surge.
"I think there are multiples" of the more than 80,000, Mr. Rothweiler said. Many men hadn't come forward because they were afraid and ashamed, he said.

Well that and their popcorn costs like a mortgage payment for a ziplock bag of it.

Boy Scouts of America ends ban on gay scout leaders​

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/07/27/boy...

Jul 27, 2015 · The Boy Scouts of America relented to unprecedented pressure on Monday and lifted its national ban on gay adult leaders, paving the way for historic change — and debate —

Comment:
The Left pressured the BSA to allow gay scout masters.
Now the BSA is bankrupt.
Disney should take note of what LGBTQP did to the Boy Scouts.

I guess the Boy Scouts great experiment to bring practicing homosexuals on board as scout leaders just didn't work out for them.

Sounds like the 1980's when all the cases for child molestation suits from daycares only to find out many were coached on the charges and lied.

This has been going on for years and they were married dad's.

Remember when the Left Wingers banned the Boy Scouts from using schools and city facilities because they would not allow gay scout masters and gay scouts?
The BSA gave in and now they are bankrupt.

Broward County Commissioners have ruled that Boy Scouts are not allowed to use any Broward County facility as a result of a county ordinance that doesn’t allow discrimination against gays.

That would make them Bisexuals.
LGBTQP

Has nothing to do with the lawsuit which covers cases from 20 years ago.
None involve current gay scoutmasters

Lefties were determined to ruin the BSA after they won the decision that they could legally discriminate against overt homosexuals. Hypocrite lefties defended the homosexuals who were responsible for the sexual abuse and blamed the BSA.

No.

It's a ruse.

Same thing the Sacklers are doing.

This goes back so much further than that.

Way back in 1988, they BSA created the Youth Protection program to help address the a sex abuse in the scouts. That means it was a huge problem for them even back then.

These cases go back to the 70s and 80s. The BSA did not let gay troop leaders in till like 2015.

My sons were in scouts when they implemented those policies
in the 90s

Basically, no adult was allowed to be alone with a child, EVER
Two adults had to be present at all times

Just the other day, I bought a discount card from the boy scouts that can be used at whatever businesses it can be used at. It was $10.00 and Dairy Queen, McDonald's, Papa John's, Texas Roadhouse, and Dunkin Donuts are five of the places that the card can be used at.

God bless you and the scouts always!!!

Of course, they aren't bankrupt at all. They are using the bankruptcy courts and wholly owned subsidiaries they created out of thin air just for this purpose to avoid accountability.

It is my understanding that the amount that they might be liable for in the current lawsuits filed is more than their assets.

That's bankruptcy by definition.

Inability to pay your debts. They don't have enough money to be "accountable".

That's not bankruptcy. Sorry. Dude, you don't have any idea what you are talking about.
