Boy Scouts Sexual Abuse in New Jersey

Representing Victims of Sexual Abuse Related to Boy Scout Participation in New Jersey

The sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic Church has been widely publicized and in the spotlight. Less discussed, however, is the equally disturbing scandal involving sexual abuse in the Boys Scouts of America organization. Many young boys suffered sexual abuse at the hands of Boy Scout leaders and volunteers, and the Boy Scouts failed to take adequate steps to prevent abuse or educate parents about the risks to their children. If you were a sex abuse victim due to your participation in Boy Scouts, you should speak with a Boy Scouts sexual abuse attorney in New Jersey right away. A Notice of Claim must be filed with the bankruptcy court by the current DEADLINE of NOVEMBER 16, 2020. If your claim is not filed by that date you may be prevented from bringing an abuse claim against them.

At Leonard Legal Group, we stand up for victims who suffered sexual abuse in a wide variety of situations. We provide free consultations that are completely confidential and with no obligation. Please do not hesitate to discuss what happened with a dedicated member of our team today.

Your Rights as an Abuse Victim

There is no doubt that sexual abuse can cause serious physical, mental, and emotional injuries to young victims. Many children who were sexually abused in the Boy Scouts require ongoing mental health treatment, and they might suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Such injuries are costly, and they might impede a victim’s ability to work or their personal relationships will into the future. In addition, some sex abuse victims contracted sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) and physical injuries that required medical treatment.

Abuse victims have the right to seek compensation for their injuries, just like people injured in other ways. Bringing a claim against a large organization such as the Boy Scouts can be intimidating, however, as the organization might often try to prevent liability and responsibility for abuse occurring. It is important to have the help of an experienced Boy Scouts sex abuse attorney from start to finish.

Liability for Sexual Abuse Injuries

When another party acts negligently or intentionally wrongful and causes harm, that party and others should be held liable for any injuries and losses of victims. When someone approved to volunteer for the Boy Scouts committed sex abuse, the Boy Scouts organization should also be responsible.

The Boy Scouts has had files of the names of ineligible volunteers since 1919, which shows that the organization knew of the risks of sex abuse and harm to young scouts. The following are some common allegations against this organization regarding abuse:

  • The Boy Scouts failed to inform parents about the possible risks of sex abuse
  • The Boy Scouts did not report all complaints of sex abuse to law enforcement
  • The Boy Scouts worked to conceal sex abuse from parents of victims
  • The Boy Scouts failed to put all accused abusers in its files of banned volunteers
  • The Boy Scouts pushed for confidential out-of-court settlements in order to conceal the allegations of abuse from the public
