Boy Scout Leader Blames Parents for Sex Abuse at Hands of Scoutmaster
Timur Dykes molested young boys as an assistant Scoutmaster. This is a fact. He admitted it. Now, Dykes is in the middle of a $29 million sex abuse case filed against the Boy Scouts of America that is heating up. Eugene Grant, the president of the Boy Scouts council for the Portland metro area, told parents of abused children that they "should not have allowed boys to stay overnight with a single man at his apartment," the Associated Press reported. During cross-examination, Grant called the parents' decisions "negligent" and "criminal." At the time of the abuse—the mid-1980s—the Boy Scouts didn't have an official policy on sleepovers. "I just find it almost incomprehensible to think their children were going to be safe in that type of environment," Grant, an attorney, said, according to the Associated Press. Earlier in the trial, one attorney for the prosecution called Dykes a "pied piper" who filled his apartment with things that would lure young boys in "such as exotic pets, an aquarium and games." The trial, which began in mid-March, is expected to last about a month.
