A lawyer in New York alleges the Boy Scouts of America has “perversion files” on nearly 8,000 people who have been accused of sexually abusing children over the years.
Victims’ rights attorney Jeff Anderson said at a Tuesday press conference the estimated number of suspected perpetrators sits at 7,819, with 12,254 victims. That's far higher than the roughly 1,247 alleged pedophiles revealed in 14,000 pages released to the public in 2012.
“For many, many years there's been an excavation of what are called the ‘perversion files’ — those are files held and hoarded at the Boy Scouts of America headquarters,” Anderson said. “Those ‘perversion files’ that they've had reflect that they have removed thousands of offenders of childhood sexual abuse over the years, and they've kept that in files secretly.”
"That is a number not known before today or ever revealed by the Boy Scouts of America," Anderson added.
Boy Scouts of America said all of the individuals on the "Anderson list" have been reported to law enforcement and removed from scouting.
