Boston priest returns to work; some outraged

(NECN: Brad Puffer, Boston, Mass.) - A support group for victims of clergy abuse is speaking out against a priest who was recently reinstated by the Boston Archdiocese.

Members of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) held a news conference Wednesday outside the Boston Archdiocese headquarters to talk about their concerns regarding the Reverend Jerome Gillispie, who was returned to parish work after accusations against him involving a 12-year-old girl.

Gillispie was in a Chelsea, Massachusetts restaurant three years ago when he allegedly offered to pay the girl and her mother for oral sex.

A court dismissed charges against Gillespie, who has also undergone court-ordered evaluations for alcohol, psychiatric and sexual problems.

The Boston Archdiocese says Gillispie has satisfied all court obligations and been determined fit to return to ministry.
