Robert Costello will speak on his experience as a victim of clergy sexual abuse Monday, June 5, 7 to 8:30 p.m., in the Parish Hall at St. Lawrence Church, 779 Boylston St., Chestnut Hill. The event is sponsored by the Brookline Chapter of Voice of the Faithful.

Costello has been an advocate for victims testifying at the Massachusetts Judiciary Committee on the matter of statutes of limitations for sex abuse crimes. Personally, Costello settled his case successfully with the Archdiocese of Boston, despite the current statute of limitations legislation.

Costello is a well-known speaker on the issue of clergy sexual abuse. He is a leader and member of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. He is also a founding member and president of A Matter of Truth. AMOT is a survivor-driven group seeking change through legislation; more information about this group can be found at amatteroftruth.org.
