Leading journalists are ignoring a critical component of the current high-profile Catholic abuse trial in Philadelphia.
Mark Bukowski has accused Rev. James Brennan of raping him as a 14-year-old back in 1996. However, around the very same time that he accused the priest of the crime – in 2005 – Bukowski filed a very detailed false police report about a violent home robbery that never occurred.
Details about Bukowski’s shocking crime have been completely nonexistent in media coverage of the trial.
In his false report, Bukowski relayed a number of astonishing details about his fabricated “crime,” including that $675 from an employer, a DVD, prescription medicines, and a wristwatch were stolen from him. Bukowski also displayed cuts on his body and a t-shirt to police in an attempt to show evidence of a violent struggle.
