PITTSBURGH — New documents from a lawsuit over Boy Scout leaders who were suspected of sexually abusing children include 76 people from Pennsylvania.

The incidents in the documents released Thursday took place from 1959 to the 1980s. An Oregon court ordered their release.

The Boy Scouts have issued an apology, saying that “in certain cases, our response to these incidents and our efforts to protect youth were plainly insufficient, inappropriate, or wrong.”

A review of the documents found that many people helped to keep the incidents quiet over the decades, including judges, pastors and journalists.
