Thousands Of Boy Scouts May Have Been Sexually Abused

Description

More than 12,000 Boy Scout members were victims of sexual abuse, with nearly 8,000 Boy Scout leaders accused, over a span of seven decades. This news comes from Janet Warren, an expert on child abuse. Warren is a professor at the University of Virginia. She disclosed the reported abuse while testifying as an expert witness in a trial in Minneapolis earlier this year. Jeff Anderson, an attorney who regularly represents sexual abuse victims, publicly described Warren's findings this week. Business Insider says this is an explosive blow to an organization already ensnared by sexual misconduct allegations over the years. At a press conference, Anderson said the Boy Scouts of America have yet to publicly release the names of the accused.
