If I thought of man as the final image of God, I should not know what to think of God. But when I consider that our ancestors, at a time fairly recent in relation to the earth's history, were perfectly ordinary apes, closely related to chimpanzees, I see a glimmer of hope.
Konrad Lorenz, On Aggression (1963)
Who do I report abuse to? I was mistreated by Dan Keohane in the Bay Area. Who do I tell? I'm sick of this secret. I'm so happy someone else came forward. I KNOW THERE ARE OTHERS. Please post answer I will keep checking back.

What is the current status of allegations/charges against Victor Levoie? Thank you for anything you might offer as update. I have done an online search and come up empty for current data.
ReplyDeleteThe Rev. Victor C. LaVoie. While serving at St. Thomas Parish in Wilmington last year (2002), LaVoie was accused of fondling a 15-year-old boy in 1979. LaVoie's lawyer, James F. O'Brien, said yesterday that LaVoie denied the allegation.

The Rev. Victor LaVoie cleared by Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston of sexually abusing a minor.
ReplyDeleteBOSTON – The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston has cleared a priest who had been accused of sexually abusing a minor decades ago.
Archdiocese officials said in a statement Thursday that a church court found that allegations of child sexual abuse against the Rev. Victor LaVoie were unfounded.
The archdiocese also granted LaVoie senior priest-retirement status.
LaVoie, ordained in 1971, was suspended in July 2002 after church officials determined that an allegation of sexual misconduct that happened more than 20 years prior had enough credibility to warrant an investigation.
He was not allowed to perform any public ministry in the church during the suspension.
He was pastor of St. Eulalia in Winchester at the time.
