A man claiming to be a former child victim of McCarrick says the ex-cardinal sexually abused a series of minors
A man claiming to be a former child victim of Theodore McCarrick has written an open essay in response to a recent interview given by the former cardinal. Writing under the name Nathan Doe, the man says that McCarrick sexually abused a series of minors during his years as a cleric.
Media reports have detailed a string of allegations made against McCarrick since the announcement of a Vatican investigation in June 2018. Those reports have referred to McCarrick’s alleged victims as including eight former seminarians and three minors.
“The ‘third’ accuser they were referring to in those news articles was me,” Doe said.
