	Former Oxnard Man Alleges Sex Abuse, Sues Boy Scouts, Mormon Church Ventura County Star April 15, 2011 http://www.vcstar.com/news/2011/apr/14/former-oxnard-man-alleges-sex-abuse-sues-boy/ A former Oxnard man has filed a lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, alleging he was sexually abused more than two decades ago by a Scout leader who was active in the church. Filed in Ventura County Superior Court, the suit alleges the organizations knew or should have known the alleged abuser posed a risk. It also claims they failed to prevent abuse. Building largely on a Portland, Ore., sexual abuse case in which the Boy Scouts of America was found negligent last year, the suit says the Oxnard troop was predominantly Mormon and the alleged abuser got involved in the Boy Scouts as a direct result of his church involvement.
