For Immediate release
Newton, MA
Voice of the Faithful strongly urges the federal court not to permit bail for the Rev. Donald McGuire, S.J. McGuire has been found guilty of molesting two boys in a criminal case, has been charged in additional cases, yet has continued to travel with and molest young boys despite numerous efforts to restrict him.
"Nothing is more important than the safety of children," said VOTF President Mary Pat Fox. "Fr. McGuire has demonstrated that he cannot be trusted. Releasing him would place other children at risk, as it has done each time McGuire has been free to travel in the past."
Two law enforcement agencies – a Wisconsin prosecutor and federal prosecutors – have filed formal criminal charges against McGuire. Complaints against McGuire span the decades, according to reports, beginning in 1969 and again as recently as 2003. It is time for the courts to put a stop to these repeated offenses.
