Letter from R. Patrick Gordon to Scott Hicks, Stating That No Other Allegations of Abuse by Brown Have Been Identified
September 29, 1997

This letter was posted by the Orange County Weekly to accompany Gustavo Arellano's article "Nailed? Bishop Tod Brown and His Undisclosed Molestation Accusation," OC Weekly, April 24, 2007. The name of the person making the allegation against Brown was initially redacted from this and other letters. Then Brown's accuser went public (see O.C. Bishop's Accuser Identifies Himself, by Christine Hanley, Los Angeles Times, September 15, 2007).
