Order lets Boy Scouts keep new abuse files private

DALLAS (AP) — The Boy Scouts of America has won a stay of a court order that would have required the organization to release more than two decades of files it kept on sexual abuse complaints.

A San Antonio judge ruled in August that the Scouts would have to release the files dating from 1985 to 2011. A former scout is seeking the documents. He’s suing the national Boy Scouts and the local group in San Antonio.
