  PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL SUBJECT: DAVID HILLIAH BEMHETT

  Dear Roger:

  Thanks for much for the complete report concerning Hr. Bennett. we are
  setting up a file, so he cannot again register with the Boy Scouts of America.

  we have checked with the council which serves San Cruz, California, and find
  that Mr. Bennett was registered with them as a Scoutmaster in l98l and 1982 in
  Troop S0650. He was listed as an Assistant Scoutmaster in l983. They have no
  word on him, since that time.

  The Scout Executive, Dean Crafton, also checked with the District Attorney and
  found that there was a misdemeanor conviction which he plea bargained. The
  District Attorney also indicate that under no conditions should he be
  registered at the present time.

  we also called Brian Allen who is the Scout Executive in Santa Clara. He
  carefully reviewed all of his old employment records, but could not find an
  individual by this name who was ever employed by the council. I also checked
  with the Personnel Division in the national office and they also could find no
  evidence of employment by the Boy Scouts of America.

  I have no indication in this office of whether Mr. Bennett.was registered in
  1987 and l988. He only keep the last three years of registration records in
  the national office on microfilm, and to find anyone without a specific
  location is very difficult.

  CONFO27037

  Thanks again for 3,01' your he} p. I hope you M11 send me anything else
  which you receive. 00 not hesitate to contact me, if you have any further
  questions.

  Re: Mr. David William Bennett 0

  Dear Sir or Madam:

  I a who has been retained by the
  family. I and his family are U.S. citizer

  While living in Korea,

  oldest son, came in contact with a Mr. David Wi liam

  residing in Seoul, Korea.

  Bennett. We are aware that a company called Summit Memory
  Systems had sent Mr. Bennett to Seoul to be seconded to Goldstar
  Telecommunications. While in Korea on this assignment, Mr.

  Bennett became the scoutmaster for_ Boy Scout troop which
  commonly met on the U.S. Military facilities in downtown Seoul

  the Yongsan Army Base).

  As your organization should be aware, Mr. Bennett was
  convicted of sexual abuse of a minor in l987. As a result of
  this conviction, he was sentenced to three years' probation.
  While in Korea, Mr. Bennett broke the terms of his probation by
  ceasing his treatment and severing contact with his probation
  officer. More tragically, he sexually molested who
  is only twelve years of age. This molestation a the
  hands of his scoutmaster David Bennett occurred over a period of
  several months at the outset of 1991. In that his behavior
  constitutes a serious crime under Korean law, Mr. Bennett was
  questioned by the Korean olice and he fully confessed to
  sexually molesting At least two other families have

  young boys who were also molested by David Bennett.

  Obviously this matter has brought severe emotional and
  financial damage to--and the entire family. I
  have been instructed by my clients to seek full legal redress for
  their injuries and I am in the process of preparing a civil
  complaint on their behalf against inter alia the Boy Scouts.
  Your organization's liability arises from its negligence in this
  matter. We demand to know what steps the Boy Scouts take

  generally (and took in this case specifically) to ensure that the,

  people who supervise and come in contact with scouts ,arei not

  PERSONAL CONFIDENTIAL
  Dear Paul,

  I've been on a fast track of late and am not
  positive if I sent you a copy of the David Bennett
  letter of denial of registration or not.

  This one is very sticky and sounds as though one
  parent is talking about a possible suit.

  The CID does not share a great deal of information,
  but the situation is briefly as follows: five boys
  from four families have been involved violations
  of Republic of Korea Criminal Code 305 (Indecent Acts
  with a Minor).

  In spite of the fact that all involved in this case
  are civilians, the Army is going "all out". The
  attached "point papers" are the result of church
  (LDS)/parent meetings with military officials of
  Yongsan, 8th Army. Full counseling services are
  available thru the Army. CID is doing "follow-up"
  work with some families that have returned to the
  states and were thought to have close ties with
  Bennett.

  Things came out in the CID investigation:

  - Bennett had been arrested in 1982 for child
  molestation. Case dropped. pg.'

  - He was accused and convicted.in 1987 of child

  molestation in Santa Cruz, CA in a case that was

  - He was sentenced to 120 days suspended with
  the provisions that:

  1. mandatory counseling

  2. not to be with small children without
  another adult present

  3. maintain contact with his probation
  officer

  Bennett claims to have been a Para-Pro in Santa Clara - can you
  please check this out and advise me?

  Also, was Bennett registered in 1937/88?

  According to California Law Enforcement authorities, he "absconded"
  in 1988 later showing up in Korea.

  I flew to Korea to attend a meeting of the church/parents/military.
  held on 12 Sep 91. During the time I was there, I visited with:
  Family Advocacy Program Manager, Agents Butman and Downing, of CID,
  and the President of the Church, Col Dunn. This was done prior to
  the meeting to be "up to speed" as much as possible. Three of the
  four families involved were present at the meeting. As you can see
  from the "point paper" from that evening, their concerns were with
  the screening process used by the BSA. They had a particular desire
  to know if the National Crime Information Center was used.

  SDE in Korea,

  Jerry Sakamoto, is keeping me up to date as things

  develop. Bennett has disappeared, but Jerry talked to the Korean
  National Police (KNP) on Friday, 20 Sep 91, and they think he is
  still in Korea. The word on the street is that he has left the
  country.

  I have been promised as much information as CID can give me, when
  the case is completed.

  Please advise me, as you can, on any of the information requested.

  POINT PAPER
  Child Sexual Abuse

  PURPOSE: Updated information re: KNP investigation of
  allegations of child sexual abuse by BSA Scout Master.

  ACTS:

  - CIDC received a hard copy of Mr. Bennett's criminal record
  from the state of California.

  - Records indicated two prior arrests for child molestation.
  One in 1982, in which charges were dropped; and one in 1987, in
  which Mr. Bennett was found guilty.

  - A translation of portions of the criminal record into Hangul
  is in progress, and will be made available to KNP by 4 September;
  authorities appear to be near charging and indictment.

  - On 29 August, nd his son appeared at the office
  for a scheduled interview with Mr. Bennett and their respective
  attorneys.

  Mr. Bennett reportedly responded in part to the merits of
  the allegations by the - boy.

  -- Mr. Bennett's attorney approached the _attorne;r
  regarding an out of court settlement.

  - An article reporting allegations against a BSA Scout Master
  appeared in the 1 Sep 91 edition of the Stars Stripes (Encl)..

  - 23 children have been interviewed, 8 leads for interviews of
  families in CONUS, and 2 children located in Taejon, pending
  interviews.

  CONCLUSION:

  - The state of California may still have jurisdiction due to the
  terms of the 1987 sentence. CIDC is contacting the
  Parole/Probation Department of California to make that --
  determination.
