Most of the local priests have passed away before these accusations but the victims of the clergy sexual abuse tell News10NBC that the actions of those perpetrators continue to haunt them every day. They say it feels like the murder of their souls.
“I have been contacted by 17 brave victims of clergy sexual abuse,” says Mitchell Garabedian, attorney.
The 15 men and two women are now between the ages of 52 to 77 however, the alleged sexual abuse stemmed from when they were between 5 to 18 years old.
“They finally have the courage to come forward because it’s time. This is why the statute of limitations in NY has to be amended,” says Garabedian.
