ABSTRACT
The following case study is based on an actual criminal case investigated by the book author, Dr. Janet Oliva. The facts depicted in this case are based on real events. However, all possible identifiers in the case have either been omitted or altered to protect the victims’ privacy. The troop number referenced in this chapter is fictitious; it has been altered to protect the innocent victims and to preserve the integrity of the Boy Scouts of America. The case study is in no manner intended to reflect negatively on this organization, which has provided a long-standing program for assisting youth in building character and learning the importance of citizenship and responsibility. The case is presented solely for teaching purposes.
