A U.S. judge on Friday rejected key aspects of the Boy Scouts of America’s reorganization plan and its underlying sex abuse settlement, delaying the national youth organization’s ability to emerge from bankruptcy.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Laurie Selber Silverstein in Wilmington, Delaware, ruled she could not approve all aspects of the plan and settlement, which would establish a $2.7 billion trust to compensate more than 80,000 men who say they were sexually abused as children by troop leaders.
