Boy Scouts of America Survivors in Idaho

For over 80 years, the Boy Scouts of America has lied to the public and covered up sexual abuse that has pervaded the institution. Since its founding in 1909, the organization has repeatedly sought to conceal records of abuse and documentation of sexual molestation by scoutmasters against Boy Scout members. In Idaho, these abuses have been increasingly documented, particularly because of the close ties with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and its prevalence in Idaho. Recently, a 20-year collection of files documenting Boy Scout abuse was released. These files reveal that the Boy Scouts have quietly been removing child molesters from their organization at the rate of 1 every 3 days.

New Idaho laws expand the rights of sex abuse victims to unmask the predators, protect children, and prevent future abuse.

Even if you've been told before that

• too much time has passed,
• you should have come forward sooner,
• the statute of limitations has run,

…you may have a chance now to warn parents, safeguard children, and get compensation for yourself. We can bring your case discreetly and with dignity.

The culture of abuse that has pervaded the Latter Day Saints and Boy Scouts of America institutions can be mitigated through civil actions brought by the survivors. At the Law Offices of Timothy D.
