Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314 566 9790, davidgclohessy@gmail.com )
An employee at a Salinas church has been arrested after a camera was found in the female bathroom. We are saddened by this gross violation and hope church officials will do everything in their power to reach out to others who may have been victimized.
Daniel Murguia was a maintenance man at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Salinas before being arrested for secretly recording women in the bathroom. According to police reports there are at least 20 incidences of women unknowingly being recorded in the bathroom.
We hope church officials use church bulletins, websites and pulpit announcements to inform parishioners about this gross violation of privacy. We hope anyone hurt by this incident finds the courage to speak up and start healing.
