Five plaintiffs in child sex abuse case against Bishop Finn in the Kansas City - St Joseph Diocese commented on the case this afternoon.

Phil Pisciotta was molested by a priest when he was about 12 years old, but Finn's departure gives him hope.

None of the five were involved in the Shawn Ratigan case. Attorney Rebecca Randles says she is doing a records search to determine if there are other victims.

Michael Sandridge was molested by a Kansas City priest when he was 13. He didn't report it for years, and says when he did, there was a price to pay.

Sandridge is the only one of the five victims who is still a devout Catholic.

He hopes Finn's resignation spurs other victims to come forward, saying it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Finn was convicted of failure to report suspected child abuse in 2012.
