On Monday, September 22, 2014, at 12:45 PM in front of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany Pastoral Center at 40 North Main Avenue, Albany, NY, 12203, there will be a press conference.

A young man, who was abused at a Catholic high school by a teacher, will name his abuser and set out a graphic and disturbing story of abuse. The Principal of the school sent him to the abuser to be tutored at the teacher’s home where the teacher directed the boy to keep it all secret.

When the abuse was reported to a State Trooper, the teacher was allowed to leave the school and set up shop elsewhere, including at schools in the south and currently in Vermont, where it is likely he has been abusing boys for the past 15-20 years.

The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests and Road to Recovery will support the victim.
