COURT RULES AGAINST BOY SCOUTS

The Wall Street Journal reports:


A state-court jury found the Boy Scouts of America negligent in a sexual-abuse case, awarding damages of more than $1 million to an Oregon man who said he was molested by an assistant scoutmaster here in 1983 and 1984.

The Multnomah County Circuit Court jury took less than three days to find that the Boy Scouts of America National Council of Irving, Texas, and the local Cascade Pacific Council failed to protect the 38-year-old plaintiff from abuse as a youth. The jury found the national body 60% negligent for the abuse and the local council just 15% negligent, assessing economic damages of $840,000 and $210,000, respectively.
