Boy Scout 'Perversion Files' Have 14 Kansas cases
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Confidential files kept for years by Boy Scouts of America detailing allegations of sexual abuse against boys include 14 cases from Kansas.
The cases detailed in files released Thursday include two from Leavenworth. Six of the 14 cases were from troops in Wichita. Other cases were from Olathe, Arkansas City, Manhattan, Newton, Kansas City, and Hoisington.
The Boy Scouts released about 14,500 pages of what are being called "perversion files" on cases across the country dating from 1959 to 1985.
A Portland law firm that made the files available stressed that simply because a case is on the list does not mean the allegations are true. Some of the national cases resulted in court sentences but others have not been substantiated or were dropped.
