San Antonio Scout leader wrongfully accused of sexual abuse gets his day in court, reinstated in BSABy BetterWithCheddar · Posted
The fact that there is virtually no recourse for a falsely accused Scouter contributes to the BSA's current doom loop. A person could: A: Accept the conclusions, resign, and hope that's the end of it (it might not be). B: Appeal to the BSA's kangaroo court to clear their good name (with limited success and all while calling more attention to the situation). C; Mount a vigorous (and expensive) legal defense with a slightly higher probability of success (again, while calling more attention to the situation). I'm glad to be a leader as long as my son and his friends are having fun; however, once he's done, I can't see myself continuing to support the program in any way that involves direct contact with youth. For every bad actor, there is probably an equal number of awful families who wouldn't hesitate to jeopardize a volunteer's reputation over a perceived slight. Granted, I believe the vast majority of people in this world are good and decent ... but it only takes one. -
They already have 1 billion of the 2.4... I think I have that right... Class actions ought to be capped at 10%... -
Wouldn't want the attorney to not get billable time. -

The Trustee during the Town Hall mentioned that next week she will roll out a way to see where Survivors claims are in the claims/award process. But...if you're represented by an attorney they have to "grant permission" to do so. Something about making sure confidential info isn't seen by the wrong person. She lost me, to be honest. Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing if it works for anyone before I talk to my attorney. -
San Antonio Scout leader wrongfully accused of sexual abuse gets his day in court, reinstated in BSA

This was my first thought. My wife and I see a local attorney every few years to revise our will and POA docs. We do OK professionally, but I'm not sure how many couples our age (~40) could afford basic legal services, much less be able to vigorously defend their reputations in court. A prominent venture capitalist once remarked (I'm paraphrasing): "Single digit millionaires don't have access to the legal system." He funded Hulk Hogan's successful civil suit against a tabloid magazine because he and Hulk Hogan (a single digit millionaire) shared a common enemy in the tabloid. Hulk Hogan, whose net worth had been reduced to "only" a few million after a divorce and other legal issues, could not afford to sue a tabloid without the backing of a billionaire who also had an axe to grind against the same tabloid. Good luck, Mr. Falsely-Accused Scouter.
