2 Poway Cases Included in Boy Scouts ‘Perversion Files’

Two Poway cases of possible sexual abuse by Boy Scout troop leaders and volunteers may be part of the organization’s “perversion files” released Thursday to the public.

Both Poway cases were in 1993 and involved Troop No. 606. No other details were released.

For decades, the Boy Scouts of America kept the files as a way to keep volunteers suspected of inappropriate sexual behavior away from children. The cases were not shared with parents or police.

The files became public Thursday as part of an $18.5 million settlement between the Boy Scouts and a victim.

The Los Angeles Times has created a list of the cases by year, city, state and troop number. The newspaper's list includes the time period covered by Thursday's release (1965 to 1985), but also other accusations and documents gathered and released in various court cases.
