Boy Scouts Caught Covering Up For 7,819 Suspected Pedophiles

Fact checked
The Boys Scouts of America held secret files on 7,819 suspected pedophiles but refused to sound the alarm about these dangerous men or share the information with the public.

The Boys Scouts of America held secret files on 7,819 suspected pedophiles but refused to sound the alarm about these dangerous men or share the information with the public.

Confidential “perversion files” held by the Boy Scouts of America contain the names of thousands of suspected pedophiles, rapists and pederasts, a lawyer for abused former scouts has discovered – and the names of 12,254 of their victims.

Jeff Anderson, a lawyer for ex-scourts who have been abused, believes that if the Boy Scouts organization released the names instead of protecting them, many of those victims would not have been abused.

The alarming thing about this is not just the number but the fact is that the Boy Scouts of America has never actually released these names in any form that can be known to the public,” Jeff Anderson told a press conference in New York.

Jeff Anderson has vowed to release 180 of those names, including 130 men from New York and 50 from New Jersey.

The list is incomplete, he says, but “we had to sound the alarm.”

“Denial and Cover ups”

RT report: The Boy Scouts had been compiling these files since the 1940s, never sharing the names with authorities or the public, he said, denouncing the organization for what he called a “system of denial and coverups.”

Those ‘perversion files’ that they’ve had reflect that they have removed thousands of offenders of childhood sexual abuse over the years and they’ve kept that in files secretly,” Anderson said.

Even now, the sheer quantity of victims and alleged offenders has only become public with the testimony of a child abuse expert hired by the Boy Scouts. The BSA was ordered to release over 20,000 pages of records in 2012, but those files only covered the years 1965 to 1985.

We care deeply about all victims of child abuse and sincerely apologize to anyone who was harmed during their time in Scouting,” the organization said in a statement on Tuesday.

At no time have we ever knowingly allowed a perpetrator to work with youth, and we mandate that all leaders, volunteers and staff members nationwide immediately report any abuse allegation to law enforcement.”

  1. this is how the chosen ones destroyed a great organization. they funded the movement to allow gays to enter the scouts, then the Gays started molesting the boys, then the boys sued the scouts into ruin. Now there is one less rugged individual training organization in the country.
