Part 1: Could priests with credible accusations of sexual abuse be walking among us – without our knowledge? Part 2: Does Catholic Church move priests with credible accuse claims to keep them hidden?

The Diocese of Covington suspended the Rev. Jack Goeke from ministry in 1994 after two women accused him of sexually abusing them while they were as young as 11.
More than two decades later, local Catholic Church and community leaders participated in a celebration to honor Goeke.
A Facebook photo from June 2018 shows a smiling Goeke at a groundbreaking ceremony for a legacy house honoring his quarter-century of work at Housing Opportunities for Northern Kentucky, a nonprofit that renovates and builds homes for low-income families.
At the event, Goeke posed for photos with the Rev. Joseph Gallenstein, who is on the organization’s board of directors and emceed a dinner honoring Goeke.
