Marie Siroky is now pastor of the United Church of Christ. She is also a former nun from Gary, Indiana, where the pedophile-suspected priest was active. Marie Siroky is one of those who sounded alarmed about the priest, and she says that he also subjected her to an abuse when she was a young driver.

- He had sex with me. I had been drinking and he didn't take a no like no. It is difficult when you are a believer, you think this cannot happen, it is a priest, but it still happens.

"I stand outside the room and watch"

After the incident, Marie believed more in the rumors that the priest was abusing children. When it was time for the children in her choir to be alone with the priest, she made sure to be on her guard.

- I told him that "I stand outside the room and watch" when he was alone with children. I have accused myself so much for not doing more.

Sense of erection

It was only when the church went public with the information about the man that Marie felt she was being restored.

- That feeling when I saw his name on the list, it was incredible. I left the Catholic Church a long time ago, but it still feels so important that we who have been abused are recognized by the Church.
