Now, he’s revealing that, years later, he called his abuser.

Gabriel Byrne phoned the priest he accused of sexually abusing him: ‘I wanted him to be terrified’

While we at Horowitz Law feel deep sympathy for Byrne (as we do all victims of childhood trauma), we beg you to NOT follow his lead.

Every survivor is different. Every survivor heals in different ways. And we at Horowitz Law aren’t therapists. Still, we urge you to resist the temptation to contact the man or woman who hurt you as a child.
