According to the Associated Press four men are suing the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in federal court because they claim they were sexually abused during Boy Scout of America functions in Idaho.
Three of the men say they were in troops sponsored by the church and were abused by scout leaders in the early 1980s. The fourth man says he was in a troop sponsored by the Elks Club in Lewiston when he was abused in the early 1970s.
A Boy Scouts spokesman declined to comment on the suit, according to the AP. An LDS spokesman told reporters that it's difficult to provide information on cases from decades ago when the plaintiffs aren't named.
