An Olivia, Minnesota woman spoke out on Monday, about her alleged abuse at the hands of Father Charles Gormly, who served in the Diocese of Duluth.
“I was molested by Father Gormly. But I was abused by the Diocese, because I believe the nuns knew what was going on, the other priests knew, and that the Diocese must have known,” explained Quin Buchtel.
She was a girl at a school in Brainerd when the alleged abuse took place, approximately 1960-1961. It came up again in her life when she attended a school reunion, and she said her classmates discussed what had happened to them.
Buchtel said when she checked in the 90s if anything could be done, she was told the statue of limitations had been reached. But recently, the Minnesota legislature lifted that limitation, so more alleged victims could come forward.
