This past legislative session the Minnesota Child Victims Act passed 60-0 in the senate. The law allows victims of sexual abuse to sue in cases that are old. Those cases used to be barred under the statute of limitations.
Bob Schwiderski was 7 years old when he says he was sexually abused by Father William Joseph Marks at St. John’s Catholic Church in Hector. Today, he’s director of Minnesota SNAP Survivors Network Abused by Priests.
Bob Schwiderski says, “I personally have met over 1,000 people that were sexually abused by religious people.”
Bob stopped by his hometown today in Hector, Minnesota.
Schwiderski says, “This journey is to prevent this sexual abuse of children and this is something I will continue to do until the day I die.”
