MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee’s Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) says a prominent Milwaukee pediatrician who worked at Children’s Hospital for over 35 years has been identified as a child sex offender in secret files maintained by the Boy Scouts of America. These allegations came to light following the publishing of an article in Sunday’s Los Angeles Times newspaper.
The Los Angeles Times story detailed previously sealed files that it said showed Boy Scouts officials “failed to report hundreds of alleged child molesters to police and often hid the allegations from parents and the public.”
In the article, 1,600 “ineligible volunteer” files from 1970 to 1991 were reviewed by the paper after the paper obtained them through a 1992 lawsuit against the Boy Scouts. The “perversion files” were a blacklist of alleged sexual molesters, it said.
