A New Jersey-based organization which has brought forth victims of alleged sexual abuse by priests within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo has introduced yet another accuser. Only this time, unlike other recent accusers, the person raising the charge is maintaining his anonymity.
Robert Hoatson, a former Catholic priest who now heads the sexual abuse advocacy group Road to Recovery had the alleged victim waiting to speak via smartphone. John Doe, as he identified himself, now lives in the Washington D.C. area and claims that around 1981, he was molested by Father Joseph Rappl while hearing his confession at St. Peter’s Church in Lewiston.
