In two Idaho lawsuits, a combined 29 men have sued the Boy Scouts and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in civil court for fraud — alleging both organizations knew Scout leaders and volunteers were child molesters but covered up the danger, allowing it to continue.
Of those 29 cases, 19 have settled, three are slated for trial, two have been dismissed and five are pending, according to Gilion Dumas, a Portland attorney representing the victims.

“In Idaho alone, at least seven Scout leaders were accused of molesting Scouts or other youth between 1962 and 1977. Between 1978 and 1983, at least three additional Idaho Scout leaders were accused of molesting Scouts or other youth,” states the complaint. “In addition to knowing about the decades of sexual abuse by Scout leaders in Scouts prior to or during Plaintiffs’ abuse, Defendant BSA became aware of all or most of the accusations regarding these specific Scout leaders by 1982.”
