May 2, 1986 was the first time Father John S. Hoehl’s sexual abuse of children appears to have come to light.
That was the day a 28-year-old man told the Diocese of Pittsburgh the priest, who was also a school headmaster, had abused him from 1972 when he was a 14-year-old high school freshman to 1979 when he was a university senior.
Hoehl had fondled him, and the priest and the teenager had performed mutual masturbation and oral sex on each other on a regular basis, according to an explosive Pennsylvania grand jury report released in mid-August which includes links to a York Region treatment centre for Catholic clergy.
