Man Beats Up Catholic Priest for Molesting Him 30 Years Ago
A jury acquitted a man Thursday of assaulting a priest he says molested him more than three decades ago during a camping trip and left him with tormented memories that led to alcohol abuse, depression and suicide attempts. The verdict came after defendant William Lynch took the witness stand during the two-week trial and acknowledged punching Jerold Lindner several times on May 10, 2010. While previously pleading not guilty, Lynch said he hoped to use the case to publicly shame Lindner and bring further attention to the Catholic Church clergy abuse scandal. ‘I honestly thought I was going to jail,’ Lynch said. ‘It turned out better than I expected.’ Steven Clark, a former prosecutor who watched most of the trial, called the verdict a rarity given that Lynch admitted the beating on the witness stand. ‘The DA’s office was in a very difficult position because they had to go forward with the case,’ Clark said. ‘They can’t allow vigilante justice to be ignored. But the DA’s office is not used to having pedophiles as victims.’ LIKE US ON FACEBOOK www.facebook.com
