Will Lynch admits he punched the priest he accused of molesting him as a child decades ago. And now he’s launching another campaign against child molesters.
A political campaign.
Lynch claims that he and his younger brother were abused by Rev. Jerold Lindner on a “religious camping trip” 35 years ago, when the pair were 7 and 4 years old, respectively, according to the San Jose Mercury News.
He filed suit claiming that Lindner raped him and made him have oral sex with his brother — and decades later, as an adult, was acquitted of assault after he punched Lindner — and now wants to have the state eliminate the statute of limitations for filing charges against alleged perpetrators of sexual abuse, the newspaper reported.
