Shaun Dougherty, who is a victim of priest abuse as a child, met with Bishop Mark Bartchak on Tuesday. This was there first meeting since Dougherty attended a rally for retroactivity in Harrisburg. That rally was made up of survivors of child abuse, who wanted changes made to the statute of Limitations Bill.

"These bills are for today's children, Dougherty said. "The raw deal is it's an enabler's bill that allows my predator, who's walking these streets freely, nobody knows he's a pedophile, he's not registered or anything. It would let them off the hook and open these children up for the greatest horrors of their life."

Dougherty says he asked the Bishop about shifting the money used to pay lobbyists against the bill to treatment centers for victims. As for the Statute of Limitations Bill, Dougherty says, for now, he has to let politics run its course.
