Robert J. Kelly was the Scoutmaster for Troop 203 which served the Flatbush District in Brooklyn, New York.
In 1964, Kelly’s unit investigated allegations that he had molested a scout during a winter camping trip. The investigation found that Kelly had molested multiple children at Scouting events over several years. In interviews with Kelly’s victims during the investigation, they each attested that Kelly abused them while they were sleeping in their tents. Later, the Boy Scouts opened a “Perversion File” (also called an Ineligible Volunteer file) on Kelly and forced him to resign.

ABOUT US: Crew Janci LLP is a law firm dedicated to advocating for victims of sexual abuse. Our attorneys were part of the victim’s legal team that took the Boy Scouts to trial in 2010 and won a $19.9 Million verdict against the Boy Scouts. Our case forced the first-ever public release of many of the Boy Scouts’ secret files. Since then, we have represented over 100 victims of abuse in Scouting across the United States. New York recently enacted a new law — the Child Victims Act — that allows victims of child sexual abuse in the state of New York to bring claims during a one-year “window” period (which opens in August 2019). Crew Janci LLP has associated with local counsel in New York to represent victims of abuse in Scouting and other youth-serving organizations. If you or someone you know has been a victim of abuse in Scouting, contact us today for a free, confidential consultation.
