Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
For immediate release: Thursday, July 24, 2014
Statement by Barbara Dorris of St. Louis, Outreach Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314 503 0003 cell, SNAPdorris@gmail.com )
A second victim of a Jehovah’s Witness elder, who earlier this month was found guilty of sexually assaulting two young girls and raping another woman, has spoken up. We are grateful to this brave victim for having the courage to speak up.
Mark Sewell was convicted of having “groomed” at least one of his victims, and using his position of power within the Jehovah’s Witness to prey on these girls. We are glad that another victim has found the courage to speak up.
Because of the brave victims who worked courageously to get Sewell behind bars, other children will be safer. We hope this gives courage to other victims of Sewell and others to speak up and start healing.
