(CNN) -- An Oregon jury on Friday found the Boy Scouts of America liable
for the sexual abuse of a 12-year-old boy more than 25 years ago,
returning a verdict of $18.5 million in punitive damages.
The plaintiff, Kerry Lewis, now 38, allowed his name to be used publicly
during the trial, according to his attorneys. He is among six men suing
the Boy Scouts over allegations of sexual abuse.
Attorney Kelly Clark has said that when his clients were boys during the
1980s, the organization knew that at least one of them had been abused by
former assistant Scoutmaster Timur Dykes. The 53-year-old convicted sex
offender was released from prison in 2005 and paroled until 2013. He could
not be reached on Friday.
Clark also alleged that though the scout leader was removed, he was
allowed to stay on as a volunteer and the abuse continued. In 1983, Dykes
told troop leaders he abused 17 scouts, according to plaintiff's
attorneys.
During the six-week trial, Clark produced documents that he said were part
of an archive of previously secret Boy Scout files that chronicled decades
of abuse of boys.
Earlier this month, jurors in Portland awarded Lewis $1.4 million after
finding that the organization was negligent in allowing a Scout leader who
was a sex offender to have contact with him. Under Oregon law, 60 percent
of a punitive damages award goes to the state's crime victims' fund.
