Group To Hold Up Posters Naming Accused Child Molesters

First Time Some Names Have Been Disclosed

Victims of alleged sexual abuse by clergy Monday will reveal the names of six current and former Southern California priests and a church employee who have been or will be accused of sexual abuse in civil lawsuits .

It will be the first time most or all of the names have been publicly disclosed, according to a statement from the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.

The group will hold up posters naming the accused child molesters outside the San Diego archdiocesan chancery office in San Diego.

They also will publish the names on two of the group's Web sites, SNAPnetwork.org and Sandiegosnap.org.

SNAP also will urge church leaders to "come clean" and release the names of all known and suspected abusive priests before a Dec. 31 statute of limitations deadline for victims of abuse to file lawsuits.

SNAP said its goal is to warn parents and prospective employers about the men and their background, so that children can be safe.
