IRVING— Hundreds of allegations of child sex abuse went unreported. Some were even covered up. That’s according to a report by the LA Times.

The accused? Irving-based Boy Scouts of America.

The LA Times uncovered these allegations in the Boy Scouts of America’s confidential “perversion files,” dated from 1970-1991.

Out of 1,600 files uncovered, 400 allegations went unreported, and 100 were covered up, according to the article.

The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, is calling for criminal action.
