Boy Scout Leader Pedo Scandal, 50 Cited in NJ Says Lawyer

THe Mormons in New Jersey will be shitting bricks tonight.

Please let them all be republicans and/or right-wing "Christian" nut jobs.

I would never be a scout leader. I wonder about people who are into that.

The information in the link was very limited. They may not be able to mention the exact Boy Scout troop numbers at this time, but they should at least mention the towns. They really should provide a list of the towns affected.

Oh, and this is not a "scandal", it's a crime. Two different things. Sexual abuse is a crime.

The Boy Scouts hate gays but apparently pedophiles are fine

^ I agree.

The problem is that they aren't locked up, behind bars, where ALL of them should be.

They get out after serving their time only to molest/abuse all over again. Prison has never reformed a pedophile and never will. "He served his time" is bullshit. Once they are convicted and there is no doubt that they are a pedophile or hebephile they should serve a life sentence. Releasing them just creates more victims. And it taxes the system because once released they have to be monitored. Release the potheads and incarcerate the pedos.

It’s New Jersey, so how many of these sleazeballs are Italian?

This can't be real. Everyone knows that every pedophile on the planet is a Catholic priest!!!

And all y’all were still obsessed over Michael Jackson. He’s dead. He can’t hurt anyone anymore. These creeps are still alive.

Did they ask how many of the boy scouts LIKE IT?

No child wants an adult three times their size forcing themselves on their bodies, R10. Fuck off, pedo trash.

I blame the parents. How naive and ignorant to trust your children to adults after all the news stories about kids being molested

I would like to at least know the towns. My old church in Upper Montclair had one of the oldest troupes in the USA.

^^^ It's troops, not troupes.

R14, only a mistake a gay man would make. ; )

"They get out after serving their time only to molest/abuse all over again. Prison has never reformed a pedophile and never will"

Sex offenders actually have a low recidivism rate overall, but of course there are some offenders who are worse than others.

"I blame the parents. How naive and ignorant to trust your children to adults after all the news stories about kids being molested"

Aren't these cases decades old?

I could see being one if I had been one and had a son who was one currently.

However, in this day and age, dealing with other people's children is an unnecessary risk.

I FUCKING knew it. The more homophobic these shitty organizations are, the more pedos are in it.

The Mormon Church must be crawling with them

Dgjhhkl

This is sad

This is sad.

The more closed these organizations are - the less public oversight they have? The more likely this shit is to happen.

I was in Scouts as a Cub and Webelo member (with no issues).

Was in another youth group between 14-18 and it was a hotbed for inappropriate shit - lots of older men manipulating teenagers.

I didn't see this in the standard media at all

r23, perhaps you should do a google search or do you not think NBC News, ABC News, New York Times, etc. are not standard media?

Haha, found an old thread on my youth group - DeMolay.

Interesting that it was closed so early....hmmmm

Lord Baden-Powell, hang your head in shame.

Wasn't Baden-Powell a chickenhawk himself?

And people wonder why helicopter parenting is a thing.

I think having sex in the Scouts, with each other and with the leaders, is a rite of passage...

Is that you Canteen Boy r29?

Pedos get shivved in jail.

R29 Boy Scouts are children. Boy Scouts are boys, not men.

You'd also be able to differentiate and know that sex and rape are not the same thing if you weren't a pedophile. "Rite of Passage." Spoken like a true pedophile.

F&F Blocked.

Bye sick in the head child molester. And Trump supporter.

[quote] Wasn't Baden-Powell a chickenhawk himself?

Who else would build an organization around grown men surrounding themselves with adolescent boys?

r33, that sounds like something a perfectly normal guy would do

Bumping

My partner's older brother was a pedo who molested him, their nephews, and several Scouts when he was a leader. Thankfully, he's dead.

I'm single. I like being single! I haven't had this much sex since I was a Boy Scout leader!

R10 & R29 are the same pedo troll. And pedos voted for Trump. So there's that too.

F&F/Block.

No child wants to be grabbed by someone older and larger than they are. That just doesn't happen. Not without grooming.

^ There are boys who lied about their age on grindr to hook up with adult strangers (and no, I don't think that makes it okay to take advantage, but we don't have to ignore reality)

We don't have Boy Scout Troops in my country.

We have the Catholic Altar Boy Circle of Friends.

And Father Mahoney.

I don't care for your ethnic profiling r7.

Would you care to 'Sleep With The Fishes' in the Jersey River?

R9 Michael Jackson may be dead, but the victims of his sexual abuse are still alive, and live every single day with the horror of what he did to them.

Jackson's lucky he's dead.

Duh, their organization is Boy Scouts...they were scouting for boys.
