Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314 566 9790, SNAPclohessy@aol.com )
Charges have been dropped against a man who was accused of violating a clergy sex abuse victim’s privacy. We hope that police and prosecutors will now work even harder to nail the correct offender.
It’s crucial that sex crime victims be safe and feel safe when they do their civic and moral duty by reporting to law enforcement. Every effort must be made to ensure their privacy. And those who violate their privacy must be punished harshly and promptly so that such intimidating and insensitive actions will be deterred in the future.
