Accused of molesting scout.
I Attorney Notes
A Sheriff was quoted as saying law enforcement officers should be held to another standard. The bottom line is that this man took advantage of the Explorer Scout program and violated a trust. Document 15475 and 15476 is an article dated November 8th, 87 indicating that the problem (of sexual molestation of boys) has become so acute that preventing child molestation ranks along side promoting citizenship, camping skills and other traditional Scouting concerns are a top priority of the organization. -Ive seen more reports of sexual abuse in Scouting in the past few years than ever before.

Scout was initiated at campout (Camp Edge) by being stripped naked and rolled in the sand then shaving cream was placed on genital area and jest to shave area with a straight razor. Boys pants were pulled off by adult leaders. See also, CONF002244. Both registrant and another accomplice scout leader were suspended then reinstated to the Boy Scouts after a committee had meetings on this issue. It was discovered that Registrant had committed "immoral acts" with a young girl back in 1986. The events occurred when registrant was 14 years old and the girl was 8 years old. Performed fellatio on a 13 year old boy after a troop meeting in July 1985. He was convicted of this crime. In 1990, Registrant pled guilty to 3rd-degree sodomy; he originally had been charged with 1stdegree sodomy.

Approximately three years later, allowed to remain on probation but participate since they have abided by the terms of the agreement written in 1985.
A civil lawsuit was brought regarding this matter against Digiacomo and the Boy Scouts of America.

Arrested in January 1987 for sexually molesting an eight year old girl. Suspended in 1988. However, in February 1986 there are notes that show he was witnessed sexually abusing several scout during the summer of 1985. In January of 1986 a pornographic video tape and illegal drugs were found at his apartment. In 1969 he was accused of improper sexual conduct and in 1977 was accused of sexual misconduct with a 15 year old boy. Also alleged to have some sort of sexual conduct with a scout in 1981. Other prior sexual allegations had also been made. Registrant was charged with harassment which was reduced to 3rd-degree sexual abuse involving a 10-year old boy in 1971. He was accused of using poor judgment and suspected of inappropriate horseplay with Troops. Convicted of sexual assault of a minor. He is a police officer. Sentenced to 20 years for abusing a 14-year-old boy. (Boy Scout Explorer Program.) Registration suspended. Registrant was a psychiatrist who pled guilty to sexually assaulting two young boys. He was Scout master of his Troop and very active with his church. In July 88 he masturbated in a tent with other Scouts in it and apparently tried to touch one of the boys bottoms and upper thigh area. Also explained to the boys what masturbating was and that they should try it. Was suspected by Social Services to be involved in several inappropriate acts including pedophilia in 1989. No counts came from this, he just disappeared. Convicted of child molestation in June 1977. The actual charge was indecent liberties and rape. Apparently this came to the attention of the boy scouts in 1988. He was registered for a little over one year with the boy scouts. Accused of sexual molestation of Scouts. Parents decided not to press charges.
I Attorney Notes
Why was no action taken in 1986? He was suspended in March of 1986 based upon all of the prior sexual allegations but not put on the IV file until 1988, 2 years later and from the looks of it he probably shouldnt have ever been involved in scouting.

Registrant first came to their attention in 1985. Was an actual BSA employee (not a volunteer). He had an admitted alcohol problem and was accused of making sexual advances to one of the Scouts, a minor. He withdrew his re-application in 1988. His name was removed from BSA's "considered for employment list." Assistant Scout master of Troop 110 was charged with lewd conduct with a minor (apparently wrestling nude with a 12-year old). Was convicted and given a three-year suspended sentence on probation. Registrant was investigated for child molestation that occurred in 1987 or 1988; he admitted to being a homosexual and potentially was going to be discharged from the USAF due to that. Investigated for child molestation. Registration suspended. Accused of fondling Scouts. Registrant had been convicted of child molestation Scout executive at Blue Ridge Mountains in 1976, while serving with the San Diego Council Council writes to Paul Ernst saying 'if it is a of BSA.

Registrant has been registered in the Council for 20 years as a District Committee man, District Commissioner, and various unit positions.

Doc. # 1757: Executive Paul Ryan from Scenic Trails Council directs a letter to Paul Ernst regarding Kelsey. We only made a light investigation into his camp activities, and could find no sexual misconduct there. We are fairly certain that these charges definitely did involve Cub Scouts, although, no parents have contacted this office, or any other members of the District Committee. (Letter dated June 4, 1984.) Doc. # 1758: From Paul Ryan of Scenic Trails to Paul Ernst, stating that approximately three years ago (1983) Kelsey was convicted on a charge of child molestation involving WEBELOS Cub Scouts. His name was placed in the confidential file. After that date, the Council was sued for letting him be involved in Scouting and I believe Risk Management settled the matter for $13,500.00.

In 1993 a civil cause of action was brought against McGrew and the boy scouts for sexual abuse of a couple boys.

In August of 1990 a parent wrote a letter to the scouts indicating inappropriate contact with his son, including special gifts and special treatment and apparently also reported an incident that happened 14 years prior to a scout that ended up with the scout being naked. Details of that were not disclosed.
I Attorney Notes
In 1991 the same parent wrote again to the scouts, this time on the national level and indicated that the situation had not been resolved to his satisfaction and that Don was still involved on the perimeter of scouting and continued to have a relationship with his son as well as other scouts. The letter indicates an on-going problem with Don over the last several years and the people who knew about the problems but did nothing.

Bill was 14 in the summer of 1990. Apparently dropped his pants to make another scout feel weird. His penis touched the other scout a couple of times during this ordeal which he stated was unintentional.
I Attorney Notes
The findings of fact state that Billy intended to humiliate this scout and that his exposure and the subsequent genital contact with the scout was inexcusable. The findings state it also became apparent to us that there is a serious leadership problem in Troop 299 and it goes on to mention that there is a longstanding tradition of hazing and other activity that should be investigated. These are documents 20071 and 20072.
