MINNESOTA
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
Posted by David Clohessy on June 25, 2012
It’s disturbing that Minnesota Catholic officials stayed silent about these serious and credible allegations for days.
Days of delay enable criminals to destroy evidence, intimidate victims, threaten witnesses, discredit whistleblowers, fabricate alibis and even flee the country.
It’s irresponsible for Catholic officials to sit on crucial information that could protect kids while they selfishly wait for a more opportune time to release it.
Let’s hope that every person who saw, suspected or suffered Fr. Wehmeyer’s crimes (or misdeeds by any Catholic employee) will find the strength and courage to step forward, call police, protect kids, expose wrongdoing and start healing.
