Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests

Statement by Barbara Dorris of St. Louis, Outreach Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314-503-0003, SNAPdorris@gmail.com )
A Catholic school official has been fired for sending inappropriate texts to students. We hope that school officials acted promptly and that anyone who saw, suspected or suffered his crimes will call police right away.
James Cerbo was the assistant athletic director at Catholic Memorial in West Roxbury. According to news reports, school officials sent letters to parents and notified secular authorities. We hope this was done immediately when Cerbo’s inappropriate behavior was first known or suspected.
We beg anyone who saw, suspected or suffered crimes or inappropriate contact from Cerbo to call law enforcement – not church or school staff – so that other kids might be spared the horror of child sexual crimes and so that Cerbo might be successfully prosecuted and kept away from children.
