A few of the victims are young, still underage or in their 20s, but many have held their secrets close for decades," reports USA Today. "Only a handful of the new allegations are related to previously identified perpetrators. About 90% … are new.
… The Scouting organization faces 200 lawsuits that its insurance companies threatened to stop covering." All told, there may be more than 12,000 victims.
