I never understood how our society, including law enforcement, could know that sexual abuse was occuring in schools such as St. John's, and just pretend like it wasn't happening or didn't matter.
In researching Josh's disappearance, you will see that in the weeks prior to him vanishing, he was googling such terms as "statute of limitations on sexual abuse at St. John's University." (BBM)
Evidence in cases like Josh's wind up being circumstantial because the perpetrators are so well versed in their criminal ways, and meticulous in the execution of their evil deeds.
And, as one poster so astutely pointed out, who would have been a better "lure" for a young person than a priest asking for help with something, etc.
To me, the worst offenders are people who abuse their positions of power in order to satisfy their own perverse agendas. And the most horrible thing of all -- other people allow them to do it, with no accountability.
I have a few questions maybe you can answer. Is St John's Abbey part of the University ... on the campus I mean? I'm trying to understand if they are separate entities or if they two flow together as one.
Is the a way to access a list of the faculty of the University when Josh was there?
How was it discovered Josh was googling terms related to sexual abuse at St Johns? Who else would have known about Josh's interest in this?
When Josh went missing, I read St John's refused to let police investigate the site? What does this refer to ... the Abbey itself or campus property?
I apologize if I'm asking questions in the wrong place, simply direct me elsewhere if so. Some answers I may still come across as I'm reading. I've already come across lots of disturbing information about St John's & I have no idea where it leads.
