Woman Says Catholic School Teacher Sexually Abused Her While She was Student
A woman who says she was sexually abused in the 1970’s by a teacher in the Erie Catholic Diocese is speaking out for the first time.
The teacher died several years ago.
Fifty-five year old Leila Said Gutowski said she was abused when she was 12-13 year old, a student at Immaculate Conception School in Clarion.
She said the abused happened in the school when the teacher would take her away from classmates.
After her family moved, the abuse ended.
But she said she continued to live in fear.
