Another Lawsuit Against the Scouts

Another lawsuit has been filed against the Cascade Chapter of the Boy Scouts. Portland attorneys Kelly Clark and Paul Mones say their client was sexually abused by Scout Leader James Hogan in the 80's. They allege the Scouts knew about Hogan's history of bad behavior that dated back to the 60's. Clark says, when the case goes to trial, they'll refer to a huge file of abuse reports maintained by the Scouts that Clark calls "the perversion files."   The attorneys are waiting to hear from the Supreme Court about whether those files will be released to the public. Their client seeks $5.2-million in damages related to the abuse.
