NO MORE SECRETS -
DEFENDANTS, FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY, THE NEW ENGLAND JESUITS AND ORDER OF MALTA, WRITE $12 MILLION CHECK IN ATTEMPT TO KEEP COVER UP OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE A SECRET.
THE THREAT OF A JURY TRIAL, NOT GOSPEL VALUES, FORCES CATHOLIC INSTITUTIONS TO MAKE REPARATIONS FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE IN PROTECTING CHILDREN IN HAITI.
PUBLIC APOLOGY MUST BE MADE TO TERRIBLY WOUNDED ABUSE VICTIMS.
A $12 million settlement agreement for Haitian child sexual abuse victims raises legitimate questions and concerns;
All provisions of the settlement agreement must be made public.
Evidence and testimony must be exposed.
100% openness and transparency.
Legacy of helping others must be maintained for courageous Haitian sexual abuse victims
1) Will the victims who have reached the age of majority receive their portion of the settlement immediately?
2) Will each victim receive the same amount? If not, why not?
3) Is there a trustee? Who? Why is there a trustee?
4) Will you now make public all evidence, documents, affidavits, etc. that pertain to these cases? If not, why not (as was done in the Los Angeles agreement)? Did Jesuit officials bargain for secrecy?
5) Did you make a deal with the defendants to keep secret the aforementioned information?
6) What provisions are the defendants making to pay for professional counseling services for the terribly wounded victims?
7) Do the provisions of the settlement agreement call for the defendants to issue a public apology to the abuse victims for their role in not protecting the children?
8) Will the restrictions placed upon Father Paul Carrier, S.J. by the Jesuit Superior continue? Will Father Carrier continue to be restricted from all public ministry? Will Fr. Carrier be laicized? Are any of these things part of the settlement agreement?
9) Will the defendants (Fairfield University, the New England Jesuits and the Order of Malta, create an endowment to raise awareness and education about child sexual abuse in Haiti?
10) Were the abuse victims in these cases included in the decision making process that culminated in this settlement agreement?
