Man sues Scouts, alleging ’70s abuse - OregonLive.com
A Portland man sued the Boy Scouts of America and its local Cascade Pacific Council for more than $3 million Thursday, alleging sexual abuse by two troop leaders in the mid-1970s.
The case brings to at least six the number of people in Portland alleging sexual abuse and suing the Boy Scouts. Together, the suits seek more than $28 million in damages.
The case filed Thursday in Multnomah County Circuit Court alleges that the Boy Scouts allowed two Scoutmasters, identified as Steven Terry Hill and Thomas Hensley, to stay in contact with boys after they knew of sexual abuse.
And if they had dismissed the two Scoutmasters would they be getting accused of discrimination against gays?
Probably not. Gays were not a protected species back then.
Whether that would be true these days is another matter. You know you can’t dismiss anyone of a protected group for any reason without being accused of discrimination.
