In a new video, Catholic clergy sex abuse survivors demand lawmakers act to reform the state’s statute of limitations with a retroactive window.
“We don’t need your apologies,” survivor Todd Frey says to the camera.
“We don’t need your prayers,” survivor Shaun Dougherty says.
“We need justice,” survivor Mary McHale says, emphasizing each word.
The three joined other abuse survivors in the video released on YouTube this week. Judy Deaven, mother of Joey Behe, who died in 2015 from an accidental drug overdose from pain medication he was prescribed for injuries he suffered when he was raped by a priest, also appears in the video, urging justice for “all victims.”
The video was produced by CHILD USA, a nonprofit think tank dedicated to protecting kids and preventing abuse, according to its website.
