A former Scout leader has been jailed for a maximum of 31 years and 6 months after he preyed upon young boys for more than two decades, sexually abusing nine children including a seven-year-old boy.
One, who was assaulted at age 7, was in the same bed as Aliverti and pretended to be asleep as Aliverti pressed against him and put his mouth on him. Aliverti claimed in a police interview, years later, that the child moved in his direction during the night "and when I woke up his penis was in my mouth".
In harrowing victim impact statements, one said the abuse has stayed with him for 30 years. Another said he was "powerless to stop it". "I want all of the memories erased," the man said. "[He] stole my innocence, my dreams and my soul."
