PORTLAND, Oregon — Portland lawyer Kelly Clark, who won a landmark court decision forcing the Boy Scouts of America to release its “perversion files” on suspected child molesters in the organization, has died at 56.
His co-counsel in the Boy Scouts case, Paul Mones, said Clark died Tuesday of cancer-related causes at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
Clark represented the victims of child molestation in suits against the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America.
In 2012, a suit he brought forced the Boy Scouts to release more than 1,200 files it kept on suspected abusers.
