YONKERS, N.Y.– The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP) is demanding the Archdiocese of New York warn its parishioners about child molestation claims against Roger Vaughn, one of its former priests.
“We call on New York Catholic officials to tell parents, parishioners warn the public about him and beg anyone who may have been hurt by him to come forward and get help,” said David Clohessy, SNAP’s national director.
Vaughn, 66, is believed to have worked at a Westchester grammar school and college, as well as various assignments in New York for more than a decade. Vaughn lives in Yonkers, according to the Archdiocese of Saint Paul & Minneapolis.
SNAP, a self-help group with chapters across the country for those who’ve been sexually assaulted by clergy, wants church officials to use parish bulletins, press releases, websites and other announcements to advise the public of Vaughn’s past.
