Former Erie Priest and Sex Abuse Victim Reacts to Diocese Plan to Release Names of Priests Accused of Abuse
The Erie Catholic Diocese is now preparing to follow the lead of the Buffalo Diocese and soon release the names of priests credibly accused of sex abuse. In a written statement, the diocese says, "We have been preparing to take similar steps within the next several weeks." Meantime, a former Erie priest who says he was sexually abused by a priest in Erie while he was a teenager says the pending release of names is a good move.
