Ken Tipton, a filmmaker and survivor of child sexual abuse, is raising awareness of the ongoing delays affecting over 82,000 sexual abuse claims against the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) through his GoFundMe campaign and upcoming film project «LOST VALLEY«. The campaign aims to highlight the persistent emotional and financial impact these delays have on survivors.
Over 82,000 abused Boy Scouts have been waiting for over five years since filing their claims. The Boy Scouts of America has set up a multi-billion-dollar trust fund to compensate the Scouts and is eager to make payouts. However, a Texas court overseeing the case has put the settlements on hold until all appeals are exhausted.
«It is mentally excruciating and cruel that we must endure these petty delays to receive the justice and closure we deserve,» Tipton says. «Most of us abused Scouts are seniors, many with serious health issues, like me.»
A small number of insurance companies continue to file frivolous appeals, causing unnecessary delays in settling claims that could have been resolved long ago. Justice delayed is justice denied, and with every passing day, these victims are forced to wait in anguish. Many will die before they receive their compensation.In addition to advocating for a faster resolution of the claims, Tipton is also spearheading «LOST VALLEY«, a film project aimed at educating families about the dangers of emotional grooming and sexual abuse. The film will depict the personal experience of Tipton and his best friend as child prostitutes exploited by an international pedophile run through the Boy Scouts.
