Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
Posted by David Clohessy on February 10, 2013
A predatory Columbus Catholic priest, who once spent a year in prison, has passed away. Fr. Thomas L. McLaughlin died on Feb. 6th.
A support group for clergy sex abuse victims is urging anyone who may have seen, suspected or suffered from McLaughlis crimes to “come forward, expose wrongdoers, get help and start healing.”
Leaders of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, say they “hope McLaughlin’s passing will bring some measure of comfort and closure to those he hurt.”
“At least now it’s certain he’ll never be able to harm another child,” said, Judy Jones, SNAP Midwest Associate Director.
