ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests is picketing a hearing in downtown St. Louis for a priest accused of child sex crimes going back two decades. SNAP’s Director, David Clohessy, says the protest is focused on a pending civil suit against Father Joseph Ross.

In May, a judge ruled that the Archdiocese must turn over records about 20 years of alleged child sex abuse allegations involving Archdioese employees. Apparently, attorneys for the Archdiocese want the Judge to reconsider that order and limit what they have to turn over.
