UPDATE, SEPT. 11, 4:59 P.M.: Newport Beach’s Joelle Casteix, Western regional director of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), has issued a statement regarding the arrest of Ryan Joseph Seider.
We salute the brave young victim for speaking out about her abuse. We applaud her parents who listened and immediately contacted law enforcement. Because of their quick action, they have helped saved other potential victims of sexual abuse.
Bishop Vann must now do the right thing: reach out to anyone and everyone who may have had contact with Ryan Joseph Seider or anyone who uses their position of power to abuse and exploit children.
We hope that Seider does not have other victims, but our experience tells us this is probably not the case. We urge anyone with information about Seider or anyone who has hurt children or covered up abuse to alert the Orange County DAs office.
