A longtime leader of the Survivors Network of those Abused by
Priests, an advocacy group that has for decades publicized allegations
of sexual abuse by priests, left the organization at the end of 2016,
according to a statement issued Tuesday by SNAP’s chairman.
The announcement that David Clohessy no longer is SNAP’s national director comes just days after a former SNAP staffer filed a lawsuit in Cook County, claiming the Chicago-based organization steered clergy sex abuse victims to lawyers who in turn sued the Catholic Church and then donated large sums back to SNAP.
