Kosnoff stressed that the Boy Scouts of America is the “largest pedophile ring on earth.” He added, “The numbers we’re talking about now dwarf what we’ve seen in the Catholic Church cases.”
On the other hand, AIS attorney Stewart Eisenberg, stated, “We know that when a pedophile abuses a victim, it’s not just one. So, each of the 350 abusers [have] has dozens of other victims who have not come forward.”
“The recipe is there for an abuser to take advantage of boys alone out in the woods at night, at their homes, at their apartments. Many of the boys have reported drugs and alcohol being given to them when they were minors. This abuse is baked into the culture,” added Eisenberg.
Boy Scouts of America’s response to the lawsuit
In response to the lawsuit, Boy Scouts of America told media outlets, “We immediately investigated the limited information provided and our efforts have already resulted in approximately 120 reports to the lead law enforcement agency in each state with an accusation of abuse.”
