2NEWS checked the database and found two dozen local cases.
Clark County has the majority of abuse allegations at 6.
We found 4 reports in Montgomery County. There was one case reported in Greene County.
Champaign and Logan both have 3 while Shelby County has 2, Auglaize County has 1. Clark, Clinton, Butler and Warren also have one report apiece, as does Darke County.
The documents date from 1959 to 1985.

The BSA president apologized.
"In the past, we didn't do the job we should have and we're sorry for that profoundly sorry," said Wayne Perry, BSA President.
