After a St. Louis federal judge levied sanctions last week against
the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests for resisting a court
order to turn over documents containing victim information, the advocacy
group says it worries what such pursuits pose to survivor
confidentiality going forward.
The sanctions came in the civil rights suit brought by Fr. Xiu Hui “Joseph” Jiang, a Chinese-born priest ordained for the St. Louis archdiocese who has brought conspiracy and defamation charges against SNAP and others in regard to a 2014 criminal charge of child sexual abuse that was eventually dropped. Twice in the last three years, Jiang has been criminally charged with child sexual abuse and twice the charges were dropped. A civil suit remains pending.
