The Boy Scouts of America call them “perversion files,” internal documents used to track Scout leaders suspected of sexually abuse young boys. On Friday they became part of the public record in an Oregon lawsuit.
A judge who had ordered the Scouts to release them received 1,247 files into evidence near the end of the third day of trial that began Wednesday with a lawyer saying “you will be the first jury to see them.”
Attorneys Paul Mones and Kelly Clark won the release of files from 1965-85 to help them make the case in a $14 million lawsuit against the Boy Scouts filed by a 37-year-old Oregon man. He was sexually molested in the early 1980s by assistant Scoutmaster Timur Dykes, who was convicted three times between 1983 and 1994 of sexually abusing boys, most of them Scouts.
