Tens of thousands of men that were sexually abused by Boy Scout leaders were one step closer to collecting a $2.7 billion settlement after a holdout committee of victims approved the organization’s restructuring plan ahead of a Wednesday night deadline.
A US bankruptcy judge was now set to approve a deal that allows the Boy Scouts of America to escape bankruptcy while providing some 82,000 victims with the largest sex-abuse settlement in history. A hearing was scheduled for Feb. 22.
Most of the claimants were molested between 1965 and 1985, when the BSA allegedly covered up the identities of some 7,900 pedophiles in its ranks.
