Man never in scouts became focus of scout sex abuse inquiry

The Garda ombudsman, Gsoc, is investigating how a man who was never in the scouts became the focus of an investigation into historical sexual abuse at a scouting camp in Cork.

Diarmuid Higgins, a businessman from Cork City, was contacted last April by An Garda Síochána as part of a nationwide investigation into allegations of abuse in Scouting Ireland.
