Altoona, Blair County, Pa.
The victims of sexual abuse are seeing support from people outside of our state.
An advocate from New Jersey protested outside of the Blessed Sacrament Cathedral in Altoona Saturday.
Robert Hoatson is a former priest and now an abuse victim advocate.
He wants justice for the victims that suffered sexual abuse by church officials.
That’s why he traveled to Altoona from New Jersey to pass out leaflets calling for justice.
“We’re here today to call for finally the resignation of one of the men who lead the cover up,” explained Hoatson, “who is the reason why much of this has been covered up.”
Bishop Adamec and Bishop Hogan are cited in the Attorney General’s grand jury report for covering up sexual abuse crimes dating back to the 1940’s.
