Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
For immediate release: Tuesday, April 26, 2016
Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 566 9790, 314 645 5915 home, davidgclohessy@gmail.com)
Long Island’s Catholic bishop must suspend a priest who now faces two pending child sex abuse lawsuits. Or other church officials must discipline and denounce him for his recklessness.

Today, a second civil case has been filed charging that Fr. Gregory Yacyshyn molested a second child a few years ago.

We know of just one other priest – Fr. Alex Anderson of St. Louis – who is still in a parish despite multiple accusers. (Three men say he molested them but only one has sued, however.)
[SNAP]
However, we have learned recently that two US priests who are convicted sex offenders are being put back on the job – Fr. Joseph Jeyapaul and Fr. Jose Alexis Davila.
