Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314 566 9790, SNAPclohessy@aol.com )

A Florida pastor has been charged in relation to child sexual abuse. We are extremely disappointed in the two adults in this case who knew about a child sexual assault and did not alert law enforcement.

Caesar Chin was told about the horrific sexual abuse of a child by a witness and even counseled the victim for a year. At no point during this time did he or the witness follow the law or common sense and report what they knew to law enforcement. Instead they did nothing and let an innocent child suffer needlessly. Shame on them.

We applaud law enforcement for investigating not just the man responsible…
