Geoff Drew’s Release and the Church’s Failures | Cincinnati News

A former priest convicted of raping an altar boy in the late 80s and early 90s is set to walk free soon—just weeks after a new podcast drops diving deep into his case. Geoff Drew, sentenced to seven years, is nearing release and will live under strict supervision at a halfway house for sex offenders. The podcast, launching August 11th, explores how the Archdiocese of Cincinnati mishandled the abuse allegations over decades, questions about institutional accountability, and what happened behind the scenes as Drew’s career spanned multiple roles within the church. His laicization was finalized last November, and he’s now barred from any clerical or volunteer work. New episodes drop every Tuesday and Thursday—ready to expose the full story before he steps back into society. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
