YOUNGSTOWN – A representative from the Diocese of Youngstown said help is available to anyone who has been identified as a victim of sexual abuse in connection with the church.
Nancy L. Yuhasz, chancellor, said that if it is determined someone has been sexually abused by an individual connected with the church in any position or capacity, the diocese provides counseling to the victim at the church’s expense.
Connection to the church could include, but is not limited to, clergy, teachers or other school staff and parish ministers, she noted.
“We always want to talk with (the victims) or, when possible, meet with them,” Yuhasz said Friday. “Some people don’t want to meet face-to-face and that’s fine.”
