TOLEDO -- Bishop Leonard Blair apologized Sunday to a woman who was sexually abused by a former priest.
During the final moments of mass at St. Pius, Bishop Blair apologized to Teresa Bombrys for sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of Father Chet Warren.
"It comes very sincerely from me on behalf of the Diocese that people like Teresa who were abused, we need to apologize to them publicly," said Blair.
Bishop Blair went even further backing up Bombrys' sexual abuse accusations saying, "upon investigation in compliance with the Toledo Diocesan Sexual Abuse Policy, Teresa's allegations were determined to be credible."
