A Portland attorney was expected to file a childhood sexual abuse case against the Boy Scouts of America and the local chapter of the Boy Scouts on Wednesday.

Attorney Kelly Clark said he represents a Portland man allegedly abused by Donald Santy, who was a Scout Leader and executive director of the Boys Club of Portland in the 1950’s and 60’s.

The Boys Club, now the Boys and Girls Club of Portland, won’t be sued, Clark said.
