MINNESOTA
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
Posted by Bob Schwiderski on February 06, 2013
Minnesota Catholic officials – with the Franciscans and the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese – made a secret settlement seven years ago with a clergy sex abuse victim and have stayed silent about the child molesting cleric even though more than 70 kids in three states now say he molested them.
Why are they keeping this secret and how many other secret settlements are being made by the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese and by Catholic religious orders in Minnesota?
Since the initial allegations against Br. Baker were announced (in Ohio last month), no church official in the Twin Cities area came forward to say ‘yes, he abused kids here too.’
Knowing that Baker abused at least one kid here, we want to know if there were any other victims.
