CHICAGO (AP) – A man who says he was abused by a Catholic priest as a young teen says he hopes that the Archdiocese of Chicago’s release of documents detailing more claims will help others.
Angel Santiago spoke Tuesday at a news conference. Victims’ attorneys posted documents online Tuesday, about a week after receiving them from the archdiocese as part of legal settlements.
Santiago says he was abused in the early 1980s by a priest at a Chicago parish. He says he never told anyone because his father was a church custodian and thought his dad would lose his job.
