An alleged victim of sexual assault within the Steubenville Diocese spoke out during a peaceful protest on Tuesday.

Members of SNAP — Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests — marched into the diocese to deliver a letter intended for Bishop Jeffrey Monforton.

“This is something that should’ve been done so long ago,” said Judy Jones, SNAP Midwest regional leader.

She addressed Steubenville Diocese Communications Director Dino Orsatti, sharing her story.

“My brother was sexually abused here in the Steubenville Diocese,” she said.

She also asked for more than what she thought was on the table.
