Bradford native and priest abuse survivor Jim VanSickle was in Bradford today to meet with Father Ray Gramata, pastor of St. Bernard Church. After that, he held a joint news conference with another survivor from Bradford.
Ed Rodgers’ alleged abuser, Rev. Desmond McGee, was not named in the grand jury report but, after speaking with attorney general Josh Shapiro and other investigators in Shapiro’s office, Rodgers and VanSickle believe his name will eventually be made public again.
Rodgers’ did accuse McGee more than 20 years ago but, for all intents and purposes, no one believed him. Although that was painful, he says he came forward this time and the last time because he was concerned that there may be other victims.
