SAVANNAH, GA – Abuse allegations have become all too common in connection with the Catholic Church.

One of those priests already convicted once served in our area.

Now one advocate group wants Savannah’s Bishop to step up and help his victims.

Wayland Brown was assigned to St James School back in 1987.

That’s when he’s accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a 13 year old boy.

Brown has already served time in a Maryland prison, and settled two lawsuits for millions of dollars. Now a third, from Savannah, is pending.

One group took the fight for transparency, and for the victims, to the steps of the biggest church in Savannah.
