Almost 800 Accuse Boy Scouts of Failing to Protect Them from Sex
Abuse |
|
A lawsuit
filed late Monday against the Boy Scouts of America says hundreds of former
scouts have come forward in recent months with new accounts of sexual abuse,
allegations from across eight decades that touch nearly every state. The suit
says the lawyers had identified at least 350 abusers who do not already appear
in the Boy Scoutsâ?? own disciplinary files, citing that as evidence that the
scouting organization has not adequately vetted its volunteers and hidden the
extent of its sexual abuse scandal.

A lawsuit
filed by the family of a Utah State University student who committed suicide
alleges the school 'failed to act despite repeated pleas for help'. According
to the lawsuit, the 24-year-old Ph.D. candidate reported several times that
she was being bullied over the color of her skin. Despite the reports, the
university failed to act. The lawsuit alleges the school's lack of response
violated the civil rights of the young woman and led to her suicide.
