THE DIOCESE OF STEUBENVILLE, OH, MUST DISCONTINUE THE REVICTIMIZATION OF INNOCENT CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE VICTIM/SURVIVORS IMMEDIATELY BY FAIRLY SETTLING CLAIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE AGAINST FR. KENNETH BONADIES

ALTHOUGH FR. KENNETH BONADIES IS ON THE PUBLIC LIST OF ACCUSED PRIESTS OF THE DIOCESE OF STEUBENVILLE, OH, THE DIOCESE OF STEUBENVILLE REFUSES TO SETTLE FINANCIAL CLAIMS THAT WILL BENEFIT BONADIES’ VICTIM/SURVIVORS.

BEFORE FR. KENNETH BONADIES WENT TO THE ARCHDIOCESE OF HARTFORD, CT, (WHERE FR. BONADIES WAS CREDIBLY ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ABUSING A MINOR CHILD), WHAT DID THE DIOCESE OF STEUBENVILLE, OH, KNOW ABOUT THE SEXUAL ABUSE BY FR. KENNETH BONADIES AT ANY TIME, WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT, AND DID THE DIOCESE OF STEUBENVILLE, OH, INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT IT?

THE DIOCESE OF STEUBENVILLE, OH, MUST DISCONTINUE THE REVICTIMIZATION OF INNOCENT CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE VICTIM/SURVIVORS IMMEDIATELY BY FAIRLY SETTLING CLAIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE AGAINST FR. KENNETH BONADIES.

ONE INNOCENT MINOR MALE STUDENT FROM CATHOLIC CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL IN STEUBENVILLE, OH, WAS 16-17 YEARS OLD WHEN HE WAS ALLEGEDLY SEXUALLY ABUSED BY FR. KENNETH BONADIES FROM 1973-1975.

A SECOND INNOCENT MINOR MALE STUDENT FROM CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL IN STEUBENVILLE, OH, WAS 15 YEARS OLD IN 1968-1969 WHEN HE WAS ALLEGEDLY SEXUALLY ABUSED BY FR. KENNETH BONADIES.

WHAT AND WHY
A press conference and demonstration exposing the callousness of the Diocese of Steubenville, OH, in refusing to pay settlements of childhood clergy sexual abuse claims against Fr. Kenneth Bonadies. Just and fair settlements acknowledge the clergy sexual abuse claims of innocent victims, help them heal, and give them a sense of closure.
