Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests on Wednesday publicized Corapi's lawsuit, which was filed in April. "I think it is reprehensible that he would sue her," said David Clohessy, national director of the victims rights group. "Clearly, he is trying to intimidate her." He said a priest suing his accuser is unusual.

I have no idea whether or not Corapi is guilty or innocent. And neither does Clohessy or SNAP. Clohessy just assumes Corapi is guilty. And that's why he and SNAP have lost all credibility.

All fairminded people understand the how vulnerable priests, scout leaders, and teachers all are to accusations that can destroy their lives and careers. All because someone sees an opportunity to make a few bucks.

As an employer this is an example why any one in authority in meeting with a female should record the conversation, have a door open or have another person in attendance. It is why most MDs have a nurse or aid with them

"how vulnerable..."

Exactly -- one can make a false accusation and even if this is proven false the stigma remains and can ruin that person's life.
