Following an I Team report on the issue, Cincinnati Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk is admitting that hiring a convicted felon to conduct background checks for the Archdiocese was a mistake.
In a letter sent to priests, Pilarczyk wrote, "I deeply regret the serious lapse in judgment," referring to the hiring of Alex Henties. The rest of the letter is below.
Vincent Frasher, the man who directly hired Henties, remains under investigation and on administrative leave.
Henties claimed Frasher sexually abused him when he was a child.
