An Ontario woman whose son claims he was sexually abused by priest Jim Hickey says the civil cases against the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corp. of St. John’s have dragged out too long.
“Please God, I hope there’s a hell and he’s there,” the woman said of Hickey.
“Nobody knows how this has torn us.”
Her son, who now also lives in Ontario, claims his life was ruined and mired in crime, drugs and alcohol in the aftermath of abuse by Hickey while he was a student in
St. John’s. He got involved in civil action about a decade ago and never told his mother about the abuse until later in life.
