Altoona, Blair County

This victim says he’s been scarred for life over years of sexual abuse and being forced to dress as a woman during sexual encounters with a priest.

He’s still worried about the toll it takes on his family and wanted to remain anonymous.

We’ll call him “John”.

John’s story is shocking. Raised as a Catholic, he attended Catholic elementary schools in Altoona before heading to Bishop Guilfoyle as a teen.

As “John” recalls, “That’s where I got to meet Fr. Raymond – Fr. Raymond Waldruff. He was my teacher at Bishop Guilfoyle.”

When he was 15 – “John” said the grooming began.
