Episode 69: Guest Shaun Doughterty Discusses Senator Folmer's Child Porn Charges

Shaun Dougherty's disclosure of abuse by his priest when he was a child launched the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Investigation of 2016 into the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese. That sparked the state wide Grand Jury Investigation into the remaining 6 dioceses. That bombshell report identified over 1,000 victims who were abused by over 300 priests who where hidden within the Catholic church. A damning story broke September 18th which reported that Pennsylvania Senator Folmer, who stood opposed to statute of limitation reform, was arrested for child porn. One of the images was of a very young girl performing oral sex on a man. Shaun was "basically laughed out of Folmer's office" when he was pleading with the senator to do something to help protect children. We discuss this and more in this episode. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/09/pennsylvania-state-senator-mike-folmer-child-pornography-charges.html?fbclid=IwAR1e79RJMfG16I_1HjebLm9LvLoGXQk0f6gU_QR5oiFz5jNrxIwwai6MD90Intro--Film Glitch by Snowflake (c) copyright 2017 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/snowflake/56350 Ft: reusenoiseOutro--I Have Often Told You Stories (guitar instrumental) by Ivan Chew (c) copyright 2013 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/ramblinglibrarian/41284
