two from L Moss Sharman D.C. Archdiocese Issues Abuse Data - 26 Priests Identified as Likely Molesters By Caryle Murphy Washington Post 11/7/03 "The Washington Archdiocese said yesterday that 26 of its priests have been credibly accused of child sexual abuse over the past 56 years and that it has spent $4.3 million on victim compensation, legal fees and other expenses stemming from those cases. About 85% of the incidents of abuse occurred before 1980, and the last known incidents occurred in 1990, said archdiocesan spokeswoman Susan Gibbs. She said that none of the 26 priests is still in active ministry." http://www.washingtonpost.com
Mount Cashel case nears close - Court to resolve last legal conflicts blocking victims' compensation by Douglas Todd, Vancouver Sun, 11/7/03 "...scores of Newfoundland orphans abused in the 1970s by Christian Brothers are hoping they will finally get their hands on money they believe could brighten their difficult lives...It was more than 13 years ago that a dozen members of the Christian Brothers' order were convicted of abusing the boys. As well, 16 months has passed since a court case ended with two Vancouver-area Catholic schools agreeing to pay $19 million in damages to the orphans....The legal battle waged by 81 Newfoundland victims to win financial compensation from the order has dragged on for more than seven years. The victims' ordeal was exacerbated, Byrne says, when Vancouver College and St. Thomas More Collegiate joined with the Vancouver archdiocese to go to court to argue the assets of the two Christian-Brother-run schools should not be used to compensate Mount Cashel's orphans." http://www.canada.com/search/story.aspx?id=83ce9d19-58ff-4d85-97d3-4bcf6ad5058e

Beyond the Bogeyman - Psychotherapy Networker - November/December 2003 We need to develop a more mature perspective on the child molester By Katy Butler Predators: Pedophiles, Rapists, and Other Sex Offenders By Anna C. Salter Basic Books. 272 pp. ISBN: 0-4650-7172-4 "The Social Organization of Sexualityââthe landmark 1994 study of American sexual practices spearheaded by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) and University of Chicago professor Edward Laumannââfound that 17 percent of its adult female informants and 12 percent of its male informants said they'd been touched sexually (90 percent genitally) by at least one adult before they turned 14. Extrapolating from the study's 3,500 respondents to the U.S. population as a whole - using NORC's stringent and narrow definition of abuse - this suggests that at least 23.8 million adult American women and 16.7 million men were sexually abused as children." "In his eagerness to make his viewers empathize with the Friedmans' humanity, he (Jarecki) stacked the deck to conceal significant evidence of their guilt. He filmed one high-school buddy vouching for Jesse. But he didn't mentionââperhaps because it would have damaged the movie's dramatic uncertaintyââ19-year-old Ross Goldstein, a schoolmate of Jesse's who helped out at the computer class and admitted that he, too, had participated in sexually abusing some of the younger boys. Nor did Jarecki include footage of a Geraldo! program in which Jesse, by phone from prison, pled for a reduced sentence and described his own prior sexual abuse by his father. Jarecki has said in interviews that Goldstein didn't want to be included and that he couldn't obtain the Geraldo! tape." http://www.psychotherapynetworker.org/book_reviews.htm www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
