A Minnesota survivor of sexual abuse by a
Catholic priest has won a settlement in federal court to prevent her
abuser, who was suspended but not removed from the ministry, from
carrying out similar crimes in his home country of India.
But
in a Monday press conference, survivor Megan Peterson questioned the
church mechanisms that allowed her abuser, Father Joseph Palanivel
Jeyapaul, to possibly return to the ministry after being convicted for
his crimes against her in the U.S.
