Statement by Barbara Dorris of St. Louis, Outreach Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 862 7688 home, 314 503 0003 cell)

We are grateful that this dangerous predatory preacher is off the streets. All too often accused child molesters exploit legal technicalities to walk free, temporarily or permanently, and abuse again.

We hope that others who may have seen, suspected or suffered crimes by this minister will find the strength to come forward, get help and report what they know to law enforcement.

(SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the nation’s oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. We’ve been around for 17 years and have more than 8,000 members across the country. Despite the word “priest” in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers. Our website is SNAPnetwork.org)
