Dr. Thomas Kowalski, a highly prominent Milwaukee physician who specializes in pediatrics, neonatal, and adolescent medicine and who worked as a pediatrician at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin for over 35 years has been identified as a child sex offender in secret files maintained by the Boy Scouts of America as reported by the Los Angeles Times.
Kowalski, who was a volunteer camp doctor for the Milwaukee County Council of Boy Scouts, identifies himself in his online professional profile as “semi-retired” but “looking for part time or consulting work” with children and adolescents.
Kowalski’s Boy Scout file was obtained by the Times in a court ordered release of 1,600 secret documents maintained in what Boy Scout officials dubbed the “Perversion Files”. The files detail hundreds of child sexual assaults known by scouting officials but kept from the public and often the police.
