Victims of sex abuse are watching an art auction in Dallas, hoping the images of one of America's great illustrators brings them some financial relief for the pain they suffered as Boy Scouts.

Works from the Boy Scouts of America's art collection, including some paintings by Norman Rockwell, will go up for auction to help compensate tens of thousands of people, mainly men, who were sexually

The plan built up a coffer to settle more than 80,000 child sexual abuse claims against the organization, but a small number of victims say its terms unfairly strip them of their rights.

Over the span of six decades, the Irving-based Boy Scouts of America commissioned dozens of pieces from the artist Norman Rockwell. This Friday, four of his paintings will be auctioned by Dallas’ Heritage Auctions to raise money for the Boy Scouts’ settlement fund, which is tasked with compensating survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

Five Norman Rockwell works of art go up for auction Friday with the proceeds going to compensate thousands of survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

The 25 works offered up by Heritage Auctions on Friday are among over 300 from the Boy Scouts that will be sold at auction over the next few years.
