ROCKVILLE CENTRE – A group of clergy sex abuse victims say the leader of Long Island’s Catholics is putting kids at risk by refusing to suspend a twice-accused priest.
Gail Howard, of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, says Father Gregory Yacyshyn should not be allowed near children. In a pair of pending civil cases, the Roman Catholic priest is accused of sexually assaulting two children more than a decade ago while assigned to St. Francis of Assisi of Greenlawn.
As News 12 Long Island has reported, Father Yacyshyn is still an active priest and is the pastor at St. Jude Parish in Mastic Beach.
