As I recall, from discussions of this issue on the Rialto, back when 
the story first broke, the actual assaults happened at non-SCA 
events; the predator just used the SCA as his "hunting ground" as it were.

Reading through the news article, it appers to *me* that the parents 
are suing the SCA because it's got deeper pockets than the 
predator--sort of like suing the gun manufacturer because you got 
shot by a robber--rather than accepting the fact that both they and 
the SCA were duped by this predator. Looking at the website of the 
law firm that is representing the abused kids, the phrase "ambulance 
chasers" keeps coming to mind.
