Grateful that the Second Circuit rejected the federal government’s continued efforts to hide information about how IHS administrators knowingly allowed Dr. Stanley Patrick Weber to s*xually abuse Native American boys.

“The government was trying to stretch and twist the law to continue to keep information about what happened with Weber a secret, and the court rejected that,” said Peter Janci, a lawyer who represents three of Weber’s victims who are suing the U.S. government over IHS’s alleged violations of their rights under U.S. treaties with Native American tribes.

“It’s time for them to come clean and try to make things right,” Mr. Janci said.

The decision affirmed a lower court ruling in a lawsuit by Dow Jones & Co., parent of The Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times

NEW MT BOY SCOUT ABUSE LAWSUITS: “Attorney Peter Janci said states across the U.S. could see hundreds of similar lawsuits as the windows to file near closing. ‘ The local councils and Boy Scouts national have always been hand in glove when it comes to operating the scouting program,’ Janci said. ‘Now, when the law finally allows victims to come forward, the Scouts are trying to create the impression that the local councils are totally separate entities – and that local council assets should be shielded from victims. It’s a corporate shell game – plain and simple.’”

Lawsuits against the Boy Scouts of America's Montana Council continue to emerge, alleging BSA had knowledge of a pattern of s*xual abuse going back decades.

I was proud to be sworn in today as a member of the New York State Bar. Since August 14th, Crew Janci LPP has brought nearly 20 cases under New York’s Child Victims Act on behalf of victims of child s*xual abuse (with the help of a strong team, including local counsel).

(Unfortunately, I brought the worst of PacNW weather with me.)
