Deep Dive 2: The Boy Scouts of America

Attorney Tim Kosnoff and host Alyssa Grenfell map the century-long knot between the Boy Scouts of America and the LDS Church where 40 % of all U.S. Boy Scout troops once met under a Mormon steeple. Having represented 17,000 of the over 80,000 claimants against the Boy Scouts, Tim explains why he believes the Boy Scouts of America was “the largest pedophile ring on earth”: from a card-filing system that began in 1916 to their 2020 Chapter 11 bankruptcy maneuver. ⚠️ This podcast contains discussions about child sexual abuse.

All views expressed are opinions only and do not constitute legal advice.

 

Every case is unique and should be considered and handled on a case-by-case basis. Under current law, and after decades of experience bringing cases against institutions like the LDS Church, it is our professional opinion that there is no mechanism to handle CSA-related claims other than individually. Under current law we do not anticipate that, without substantial changes to the law, there will be a mechanism—class action, consolidated cases, federal multi-district actions, or anything else—that will allow these claims to proceed on anything other than an individual basis. They are all simply too fact dependent. For inquiries about legal representation, visit kosnoff.com
