Spotlighting the role of female
clergy in sexual abuse for the first time, a victims advocacy
group said yesterday that it had identified about 100 people in
the United States who said they had been assaulted by Catholic
nuns, sisters and other female religious workers.
At a news conference, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) called for other victims to come forward so they could share their stories and receive help. The group also asked the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, a national female clerical organization based here, to allow victims to speak at their annual meeting next month in Fort Worth, Texas.
