Robert M. Hoatson is no stranger to calling foul on alleged sexual abuse.
Months before speaking out for 11 John F. Kennedy High School alumni who claim they were sexually abused by Franciscan Brother Stephen P. Baker, Hoatson, co-founder and president of Road to Recovery, took up the cause of a man who said he was sexually assaulted by former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
The alleged victim in that case was about to be released from a Massachusetts state prison, where he was being housed for a “serious crime,” Hoatson said in July.
Hoatson would not talk about the specifics of the man’s background, his crime or his relationship with Sandusky, which occurred 25 years ago when he attended a summer sports camp at Penn State.
