BELLEVILLE (IL)
Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests
“Sexually violent predator” worked in diocese
Few knew of his time in southern IL until recently
Two more accused abusers missing from church site
Catholic officials should hire outside firm to look through its files
This recommendation just made by church’s top abuse lay leader
WHAT
Holding signs and childhood photos at a sidewalk news conference, clergy sex abuse victims and their supporters will disclose, for the first time, that a convicted child molesting cleric who was deemed “sexually violent” worked in Belleville.
They will also call on local Catholic officials to
–update the diocesan website and add names of all three publicly accused clerics who are missing, and
— use lay church members and an outside firm to review all abuse records to see if there are old cases that should be revisited and/or other proven, admitted or credibly accused child molesting clerics who are being hidden.
