The Oregon Supreme Court ordered 14,500 pages of files previously kept confidential by the Boy Scouts of America open to the public since they were used in a court case brought by a man who was molested by an assistant scoutmaster. The documents are only a portion of files kept by the Scouts on those suspected to be or known to be child molesters.

The documents were made searchable by several newspapers. Follow the link to search the database available on the San Jose Mercury News website.
