MINNESOTA
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
Posted by David Clohessy on February 20, 2013
A former Catholic youth minister has made some startling admissions in a long investigative television news report. He’s Matthew Feeney who worked at the Church of St. Joseph’s in St. Cloud before running a talent agency and being charged with child sex crimes.
It is hard to take the word of a child predator at face value when he claims that he suddenly stopped abusing kids. We don’t believe that Feeney magically stopped violating boys in the early 90’s, and we think it’s dangerous for police and prosecutors to believe him as well.
We are grateful to the advocate who recorded Feeney admitting that his actions since he was convicted of abusing kids in 1992. It is clear that Feeney is a danger to children, and for the sake of kids, we hope that this admission will push law enforcement officials to aggressively reach out to potential victims and witnesses in every area where Feeney has been.
