Westport NY – A law firm that represents victims of sexual abuse by clergy is urging the North Country’s Roman Catholic diocese to release the names of priests suspected of committing sexual crimes.
At a press conference yesterday, the firm Jeff Anderson and Associates published the names of eight priests suspected of molesting children.
They say Church officials have other names which haven’t been made public, a claim the Diocese of Ogdensburg confirms.
“Many many survivors still think that they are alone,” said Attorney Mike Reck, speaking yesterday in Syracuse, calling on the Diocese of Ogdensburg to release names of priests who face credible claims of sexual abuse. “The time for thinking about what’s right is done. It’s time to take action. It’s time to actually do the right thing.”
