We look forward to addressing these allegations in court.
I look forward to setting a Google alert on this guy to see how it goes for this man and his defense counsel after the bluster in today’s press.
Former Berlin Township trustee and local boy scout leader, John Steven Sorovetz, was arrested and charged with sexual assault against a minor.
There could well be other victims. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office noted there was a “pattern of behavior throughout this lengthy investigation.”

Sorovetz’s defense counsel issued this statement:
“I urge people to withhold opinions until the facts are revealed. Mr. Sorovetz has cooperated throughout every step of the investigation, including passing two polygraph examinations. The complainants are motivated by greed. Mr. Sorovetz has already filed a countersuit demanding compensation for the damages he has suffered from this ordeal. John looks forward to addressing these accusations in court.”
- I’m not a juror, I can form any opinion I want.
- Cooperation after the sheriff shows up? Polygraphs? Spare me. This man knows polygraphs are not admissible in court. A polygraph should never trump a lengthy investigation. Nice try.
- “The complainants are motivated by greed.” The fuck they are.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Detective Bureau right away at (734) 240-7530 or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800 SPEAKUP.
Scouting America
After decades of sexual abuse scandals and a bankruptcy designed to thwart civil settlements, Boy Scouts of America rebranded itself to “Scouting America” in early 2025. The rebrand reflected the desire to be inclusive of all youth.
So I suppose this was inevitable:
