Statement by Barbara Dorris of St. Louis, Outreach Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314 503 0003, SNAPdorris@gmail.com )
A Las Vegas man, who is a former Maryland megachurch leader, has been sentenced to 40 years in jail, after being found guilty of sexually abusing three boys. We are glad he has been given such a long sentence. Children are safer when predators are locked up, where they can’t hurt another innocent child.
Nathaniel “Nate” Morales was the youth leader at Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, MD, but currently resides in Las Vegas. By using his position of trust and authority he was able to sexually assault at least three boys, the youngest being only 11 years old.
We are grateful to the brave victims and whistleblowers who came forward and helped with this case and to the jury for finding him guilty Their bravery will keep a dangerous man away from kids for the next 40 years.
