$25M Verdict Against Former Scoutmaster

An Erie County jury awarded $25 million to a survivor who was sexually abused by his Boy Scouts scoutmaster in the 1970s and 1980s.

The jury found that the Boy Scouts and local councils failed to protect children despite warning signs about predatory leaders. The award included $10 million in compensatory damages and $15 million in punitive damages.

The verdict underscores the power of civil litigation to hold institutions accountable and gives survivors an opportunity to have their stories heard in court.
