Judge upholds Boy Scouts' $2.46 billion sex abuse settlement.

A US judge has upheld the Boy Scouts of America's $2.46 billion settlement of decades of sex abuse claims, rejecting appeals by some of the group's insurers and abuse claimants. The settlement, which would create the largest sexual abuse settlement fund in US history, was a good faith effort to resolve claims by more than 80,000 men who say they were abused as children by troop leaders. The Boy Scouts organization said it was "enormously grateful" to abuse survivors who spoke out about their experiences and who voted to support the settlement.
