Important update: Boy Scouts of America has filed Bankruptcy in face of thousands of child sexual abuse cases.Attorney Andronici's Statement on the Boy Scouts of America Bankruptcy Filing
"The Boy Scouts of America Bankruptcy filing is not the end of the road for victim-survivors who are seeking justice and it is not necessarily too late for those who still want to seek compensation for the harm they suffered at the hands of abusive Boy Scout leaders. Bankruptcy is often misunderstood. When an organization like BSA files in the face of claims from victims, it doesn't mean that there is no possibility for victim compensation, just that there is a different, new process for that. The BSA filing is not the end of accountability for the Boy Scouts. In fact, the process will open the doors for many other survivors who couldn't file before. Many BSA victims who had no chance at justice due to outmoded child sexual abuse statute of limitations laws in their state, like those that we have in Pennsylvania, may now have a short window - a chance to bring their claims regardless of the statute of limitations."

On Brett Kavanaugh & SCOTUS Hearings
Justine speaks in opposition to Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation.
“I think the questions that we’re asking are all wrong,” Andronici said. “Not whether or not we’re denying this man a seat on the Supreme Court unjustly, but how . . . did he even get to this level in the process? It’s pretty clear to me that they knew stuff like this was out there, and they chose to push him through anyway. Because they thought that women in the country would be silent. And I think the time for silence is past.”
