A lawsuit was filed in Cook County Circuit Court today against the Boy Scouts of America for failing to protect a scout from a known pedophile. The plaintiff, who wishes to remain anonymous, claims he was molested in 1985 at the age of 10.
According to Chris Hurley, attorney for the plaintiff, what we’ve learned from cases involving Penn State, the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts is that “adults supposedly in a position of responsibility find their first instinct is to protect their institution rather than to protect the children who are victims of these crimes.”
