John Doe - Sexual Lawsuit against the Wheeling Charleston Diocese and Rev Charles E. McCallister
Once again another allegation has been made about a "man of the cloth" sexually abusing a young boy beginning in 2003 and lasting for three years. Personally this is just sickening. How many times does this need to happen before SOMEONE out there comes to the realization that this is a serious PROBLEM.
The interesting thing in this case is the fact that when the investigation initially began Rev Charles E. McCallister was immediately suspended and an investigation began, but now he is dead leaving this individual with really NO justice whatsoever. The Wheeling Charleston Diocese spokesman, Bryan Minor said "Because there are so many unanswered questions, our investigation continues. It never ended.", also went on to say According to Minor, the second sexual abuse investigation is now complete. He said no criminal charges were filed, nor did the church come to a civil settlement.
To me this sounds like typical BS and nothing will ever come of it. This I just another reason why abuse victims are afraid to come forward. Justice never gets served, but at least the Diocese extended the victim outreach program to the alleged victim and his family. Yeah like that will do a lot of good.
