    A man identified in court records as “John Doe” alleges in a new
    lawsuit that former New York Rep. Gary Ackerman sexually abused him
    when he was a teenager.

    The plaintiff says Ackerman exploited him in 1966 when the former
    Democratic congressman was a director at Ten Mile River Scout Camp,
    a 12,000-acre Boy Scout reserve, according to the complaint filed in
    the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The suit also names the
    camp and the Greater New York Council of the Boy Scouts of America
    as defendants.

    The news was first reported by The Associated Press.

    Ackerman’s attorney, Oscar Michelen of Cuomo LLC, stridently denied
    the allegations in a statement to the AP and said they would
    “vigorously” seek to have the suit dismissed.

    “In over 30 years of public service, there has never been any
    accusation of this kind or indeed of any wrongdoing in the
    Congressman’s career,” Michelen said.

    The Boy Scouts also denies negligence in hiring Ackerman.

    “Had the national organization been made aware of credible
    allegations against Mr. Ackerman, we would have acted to remove him
    from scouting,” the organization said in a statement to the AP.

    John Doe says that when he was a 17-year-old camper in Narrowsburg,
    New York, a remote town along the Delaware River, Ackerman drove him
    to an abandoned road and attempted to force him to perform oral sex,
    then forcefully performed oral sex on him.
