Victim creates Web site - St. Cloud Times - Aug. 24, 2006 — A former St. John's Preparatory School student launched a Web site Wednesday to help molestation victims and challenged Catholic officials in a letter to defend delays in notifying potential victims... Marker said his Web site http://www.behindthepinecurtain.com is intended to help victims feel "validated." ... The site contains more than 200 published articles about the clergy sex abuse scandal as it relates to the St. John's community, according to the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, a national advocacy group for victims... Last month, the Collegeville abbey publicized allegations of sexual misconduct in the 1970s and 1980s that were made against three of its monks, one of whom has died... Abbey officials "knowingly allowed the perpetrator to work with children and young adults for another five years," said David Clohessy, national director of SNAP.
