WHAT
Holding signs and childhood photos at a sidewalk news conference, clergy sex abuse victims will reveal that some Maryland predator priests are not on the archdiocesan ‘accused’ list. And they will challenge the Baltimore’s archbishop to
–add them to the archdiocesan website, and
–post the alleged offenders’ photos, whereabouts and full work histories, so kids will be safer and victims will feel validated.
Victims will also disclose that previously-hidden presence of an admitted abusive cleric who is in DC, was in Baltimore, and recently held a church leadership position.
The group will also call on Maryland lawmakers to reform or repeal the state’s “archaic, predator-friendly” laws (like the statute of limitations) and set up a two or three year ‘civil window,’ to enable victims to protect kids by exposing wrongdoers in court.
