The group SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is protesting out in front of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral.

The group says it wants to reach out to other who may have been hurt in light of the recent arrest of Father Patrick Nicholas Hughes last week.

Hughes was arrested by the Franklin County Sheriff's office for trying to meet up for a sexual encounter with two boys, ages 9 and 14.

He was the acting dean at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral in the Short North.

SNAP is urging Greek Orthodox church officials to make public every location where Hughes worked and aggressively seek out and help anyone who may have seen, suspected, or suffered any misconduct by him.

They are also urging any other victims, witnesses or whistle-blowers with any knowledge or suspicions of clerics' crimes to contact law enforcement.

The Sheriff's Department says no other victims have come forward.
