A West Des Moines woman who survived priest sexual abuse called the Diocese of Des Moines decision to release a list of credibly accused priests a trigger.
The Diocese of Des Moines named nine priests Thursday with credible allegations against them of abusing children.
Theresa Arlaud said she saw the announcement on the news and was instantly taken back to when she was sexually abused by a priest in Ohio.
“It lives with you your whole life,” Arlaud said. “You know, I don’t try to live in the past or anything, but when I saw that on TV, it triggered it.”
