Sorry Tom, this case won't do that.  The judgement is against the Boy Scouts "and the Mormon church that sponsored that chapter".  The Latter Day Saints (Mormons) aren't Christian Evangelicals, conservative or otherwise.  So organizationally you won't see it here.

FWIW, LDS units make up around half of the boy scouting organization in this area.

Jacob, That's interesting information but I'm not sure how you mean to apply it exactly.  It strikes me as an argument that what we call sex abuse is normal or at least should be accepted.  Maybe it's just a point that even with those experiences someone can be a normal, functioning member of society.

I think your point to a settlement of money really doesn't solve anything is correct.  Especially in cases where the behavior (policy) was changed prior to a suit being filed.
