CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Two victims of childhood sexual abuse have renewed calls for the Catholic Diocese of Charleston to publish a list of priests accused of misconduct with minors.
The diocese told The Post and Courier of Charleston in 2014 that 32 priests have been accused of having abused minors in its jurisdiction since 1950, but the priests have never been publicly identified by the church.
The Post and Courier (http://bit.ly/1S9OjUy) reports that 68-year-old Barbara Dorris of St. Louis and 49-year-old Allen Sires, both abuse victims, stood outside the diocese’s property Tuesday, saying that the release of the names is both necessary and long overdue.
