Patch is still sifting through the hundreds of files released, but read the story to find an alleged incident from a Webster Groves troop.
The recently released Boy Scout "Perversion Files," files that detail cases nationwide of sexual abuse by scout leaders, include 205 cases in Missouri, involving 56 troops in the St. Louis area and St. Charles County. The files detail hundreds of cases of alleged sexual abuse perpetrated by Boy Scout leaders as well as efforts by Boy Scout officials, law enforcement and community leaders to shield those leaders from consequences. The Oregon Supreme Court in June ordered the files, which the Boy Scouts organization apparently collected over several decades, to be released at the request of media organizations following a $20-million judgment in a 2010 lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America. Some of the cases involve unreported …

Donald Ingerson—the former St. Louis-area teacher who turned himself in for raping students—appears in an Affton School District yearbook from 1975, according to the latest report from Affton-Shrewsbury Patch.

The Lindbergh school district does not have any records of ex-teacher Donald Ingerson, who turned himself in for rape, working there.
When news broke that a 67-year-old former St. Louis-area teacher was charged with raping his students, everyone had the same question: Did it happen here? Police said Ingerson worked in five or six St. Louis County school districts, but they didn't say which ones. Only recently have school districts like Ferguson-Florissant, Rockwood and University City stepped forward to say they found records of Ingerson's employment at their schools—a difficult task since the alleged attacks have sometimes pre-dated electronic records. So Patch began to check with local school districts to find out the answer to the question on many parents' minds: Did it happen here? The Lindbergh school district said they have checked their records and found no …
