Portland, Ore — A local priest is still on the job weeks after a civil complaint was filed alleging he sexually abused a Portland boy for over 10 years.
The man claims he was sexually abused by Father Vogt at Holy Rosary Church in Northeast Portland when he was an altar boy.
Bill Crane and David Clohessy work for Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) helping victims of abuse in the Catholic Church. The recent complaint in Portland against Holy Rosary brought them to the steps of the church.
“It says that there were at least 10 times Father Vogt physically molested a boy and fondled him — at least 50 times kissed the boy on the mouth,” SNAP Director David Clohessy said.
