Boy Scout Scandal Could Be Bigger Than Catholic Church Crisis

(MSN) Corky Siemaszko August 6 2019 The Abused in Scouting lawyers said theyve identified 350 previously unknown scoutmasters and volunteers who allegedly preyed on boys and whose names were not known to law enforcement or in the BSAs internal database which critics have called perversion files. You cant look at these files and not come to the conclusion that this was a massive problem that was hidden attorney Tim Kosnoff said at a press conference. We know that when a pedophile abuses a victim its not just one added attorney Stewart Eisenberg. So each of the 350 abusers have dozens of other victims who have not come forward. The revelation that the lawyers had identified a small army who they claim are previously unknown scout sex abusers was contained in the lawsuit filed Monday in Philadelphia by a Pennsylvania man identified only as J.D. who claims he was assaulted hundreds of times over a span of four years in the 1970s. J.D. who lives in Wilkes-Barre identified his attacker in the lawsuit as Paul Antosh who also lives in the Pennsylvania city. I just heard about this lawsuit Antosh 62 told NBC News when reached by phone at the Poconos motel he manages. Asked if the allegations are true Antosh said Im in the process of hiring counsel. The complaint also names the Boy Scouts and the Penn Mountains Council.
