Jesuit Priest Named in New Lawsuit, SNAP Responds

A suspended Connecticut priest has been named in a new lawsuit alleging he abused a young victim at a Haitian school. We applaud the brave victim for coming forward with his abuse.

The lawsuit states that Fr. Paul Carrier and Douglas Perlitz abused a teenager at the Project Pierre Toussaint School in Cap-Haitien. The school is supported by Fairfield University.

Perlitz has been accused dozens of times of child sexual abuse. As far as we can tell this is the first allegation against Fr. Carrier. But Carrier's ties to Perlitz are well known. And Carrier, who now apparently lives at a church facility in Massachusetts, has largely been silent throughout the legal controversy surrounding Perlitz.

We hope anyone else who was abused by either of these men will now find the courage to come forward, speak up, expose wrong doing, and help protect others.
