An Ohio priest has pleaded guilty to soliciting sex and will be allowed to enter an early intervention program. We are disappointed by this outcome.

As part of Fr. James McGonegal’s plea deal once he has completed his early intervention program the case against him will be dismissed and wiped from his record. We believe this a dangerous move, because it will prevent parents, employers and guardians from having vital information about whom they let their children around.

It is not too late for any victims, witnesses or whistleblowers to come forward and report what they know about Fr. McGonegal.
