The Bishop of the Youngstown Diocese is being called on to hold a public meeting to discuss allegations of sexual abuse by one of it's priests.

The diocese recently suspended Father Thomas Crum from his duties after several people came forward saying the priest molested them as a child.

At least one of those allegations came from a former Cardinal Mooney student where father Crum served in the late 1970's.

The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests issued a news release Wednesday. The group calls on Bishop George Murry to take several steps, including visiting the parishes where Father Crum worked, holding a public meeting where parishioners can address the situation. And turning over all documents on the matter to law enforcement.

A spokesman for the diocese says the Bishop is still formulating a response to the group's request.
