A man who was one of more than 1,000 children in Pennsylvania preyed on by “predator priests” says he is still traumatized 39 years later — as he called the grand jury report chronicling the abuse a “victory” in a “war that’s just beginning.”
Jim VanSickle told the Washington Post he was 16 in 1979 when he met a young priest named David Poulson, his English teacher at Bradford Central Christian High School.
“I was a lost kid,” said VanSickle, who is now 55.
His grandmother had just died and his father was sick and couldn’t work. So he found a mentor in Poulson, who was 26 at the time.
