Statement by Barbara Dorris of St. Louis, Outreach Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314-862-7688 home, 314-503-0003 cell, SNAPdorris@gmail.com )

Another priest in Poland has been accused of sexually molesting a child and showing them pornography. We are saddened by this new revelation, but glad victims in Poland are finally being heard.

Father Grzegorz K. is accused of abusing the minor at a parish on the outskirts of Warsaw. He is the third priests to be publically accused in recent months. We believe this is a hopeful sign that child sexual abuse by Polish priests will no longer go unspoken.

We hope that anyone who saw, suspects or suffered abuse will call police and that Catholic officials will be proactive and aggressively seek out victims and witnesses.
