Michigan’s attorney general on Wednesday announced the first criminal charges in connection with an investigation into the Boy Scouts of America after thousands of people filed claims of child sex abuse against the organization.

As victims continue to file civil suits against the Boy Scouts of America, saying they were sexually assaulted, the state of Michigan continues to come up as the location of where the abuse took place.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is once again asking the public to report any sexual abuse carried out by members of the Boy Scouts of America amid an ongoing investigation.

The Boy Scouts of America are under investigation in Michigan following reports of alleged sexual abuse.
