A Virginia man who says ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick abused him for years starting when he was an 11-year-old boy is showing his face for the first time since testifying to the Vatican.
“There were times when McCarrick always wanted to get me alone for his own ability to prey on me,” James Grein said.
Grein said McCarrick began abusing him decades ago at his family’s New Jersey home. He says McCarrick groped him several times and the abuse got worse as he got older.
“And he told me that he was my pathway to God and that I need to trust him,” Grein said.
