NEW YORK (AP) An $850 million agreement by the Boy Scouts of America to compensate sex-abuse victims prompted outrage on July 2 from some survivors and their advocates, while others were encouraged and saw it as the best outcome that could be achieved under the circumstances.
The agreement, filed in court late on July 1 as a step toward resolving a complex bankruptcy case, includes the BSA national leadership, abuse victims, local Boy Scout councils and lawyers appointed to represent victims who might file future claims.
Lawyer Tim Kosnoff, whose Abused in Scouting legal team says it’s representing thousands of clients, called it “a lousy deal a sellout of tens of thousands of brave men” because it did not press local councils to contribute the bulk of their unrestricted assets.
