Description
The Boy Scouts of America have declared bankruptcy, an unprecedented move that reverberated around the nation. The wave of sex abuse lawsuits against the nonprofit organization started in Portland a decade ago. A nearly $20 million ruling against the scouts set the stage for more cases nationally. But a lawsuit filed by The Oregonian and other news organizations during that same period may have played a similarly important role. The Oregonian/OregonLive's Molly Young and Charlie Hinkle, an attorney who has represented the news organization for four decades, talk about that history and how it led to the unprecedented bankruptcy case.
