TRANSCRIPT: of 2 min sound byte above;
We believe future abuse can be prevented. You can’t stop a child molester. You can put them in jail. For example Michael Baker was finally put in jail. He is a very notable case.
(Michael Baker) is a priest who went to Cardinal Mahony and said I'm a child molester. And Cardinal Mahony basically said that's okay, we're going to put you in several parishes. Michael Baker is in prison today. But he’d be there likely for the rest of his life if Cardinal Mahony had [INAUDIBLE] for many years ago and reported his crimes.
Cardinal Mahony is not acting alone
He needs to be brought to justice and that's how we can prevent future abuse from happening to other children.
We hope that other US Attorneys across the United States will begin to take those types of steps. Because you can’t stop a child molester, but real consequences for their enablers who enabled abuse and enable pedophiles might prevent future abuse and really help heal those that have already been wounded.
