Let’s look at the entire article:
According to the complaint, the victim, now 43, had never told anyone about the incidents until he confided to his girlfriend last year. He later told family and decided to report the matter to police. He told investigators that Blume was kind and generous to him, and took him on trips out of state and to ski in Wisconsin. During the trips, they stayed in motels or at Blume’s parents’ home in Indiana, and Blume would assault him while they slept, the victim told investigators.
At least one time, Blume told him to consider it their secret and not to tell anyone, the complaint indicates.
Earlier this year, Elm Grove police Detective Craig Mayer flew to Florida to interview Blume, who told him he had worked as a brother for the Catholic Church and lived at the St. Charles Boys Home in Wauwatosa before leaving in 1978. He became a priest in 1980 but told Mayer he was forced to take a leave of absence in 1989.
Blume admitted knowing the victim and taking him and other boys on trips, but he denied ever sleeping next to the victim. When Mayer urged him to clear his conscience, Blume told the detective the assault might have happened, but he could not recall it, the complaint says.
Blume taught religious education classes at St. Luke’s parish in Brookfield in the 1970s, according to Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, which tracks sexual abuse cases.
Two civil suits were filed against Blume in the 1990s in Indiana, according to the group, and Blume was officially removed from the priesthood last year.
LaVoy said his client has not been a priest since 1989 and is technically retired.
THE (SO-CALLED) VICTIM, NOW 43.
Anyone could be accused of anything 30-40 years after the fact, and have a difficult time proving their innocence. I have to wonder about that detective, as well.
Clear your conscience! Tell me everything, old man.
Yeah, the judge and jury called him a victim and the judge and jury called the priest a pederast rapist who got 10 years in jail.
The defense of the indefensible is limitless around here.
Just the opposite.
The more time that goes by, the harder it is to prove guilt.
But that fact doesn't deter RC apologists who are blind to the sins of their priestcraft.
