Here we go again, more religious sex abuse of little children. Johnson City, Texas – Charges have been laid against four monks alleging they sexually assaulted a boy at a Texas monastery that draws thousands of visitors every year.
Authorities raided the Christ of the Hills Monastery last week in search of "instruments of child abuse. The four monks, plus another serving a 10-year prison sentence for indecency with a minor, were charged after a young man claimed he had been assaulted at the monastery beginning in 1993. Another accuser has come forward, and others could follow.
Three of the monks appeared in court in shackles and orange prison jumpsuits Monday for charges of sexual assault of a child and organized criminal activity. Monastery founder Samuel Greene 61, has also been charged one count of sexual performance of a child.
You must wonder how many other innocent children have been sexually abused by religious leaders but are too scared to come forward.
