Over 74K alleged sex abuse victims file claims against the Boy Scouts

More than 74,000 sex-abuse accusers are now poised to seek money damages from the Boy Scouts of America ahead of a Monday bankruptcy court deadline, The Post has learned.

The number of accusers far eclipses those who have accused the American Catholic Church, said lawyer Andrew Van Arsdale of the group Abused in Scouting.

There are over 74,000 claims [for damage] filed as of this morning, and it dwarfs anything we have ever seen in the history of institutional child sexual abuse, Van Arsdale said Saturday.

Victims have until 5 p.m. Monday to file a money-damages claim against the Boy Scouts in federal bankruptcy court.
