One Pennsylvania native, who is choosing to remain anonymous, says he became an “object of abuse” by Herbert Shank, a former priest within the Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg, when his parents were going through hard times.
He says he was abused at the hands of Shanks for a year and a half, starting when he was 12-years old.
A spokesperson for the Diocese of Harrisburg says Herbert Shank’s case was turned over to the York County District Attorney’s Office in February 1995.
When reaching out to the York County District Attorney’s Office, we received the following statement: “As per policy, The Office of the District Attorney does not confirm or deny whether or not there is an investigation until such time charges are, or are not filed.”
