2 Clergy Abuse Victims Speak Out

SNAP Asks Vegas Abuse Victims To Speak Up

Two clergy abuse victims are speaking out, and they want Las Vegans to do the same.

Members of a group called SNAP, or Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, held a news conference outside the Las Vegas Chancery Tuesday.

They said there could be priest abuse victims in the Valley who are keeping quiet.

"We know of at least seven predator priests who were accused of abusing children in other locations and have lived or worked here in Las Vegas," said SNAP founder Barbara Blaine.

SNAP said one priest with Nevada ties was sued last Friday for molesting a child in the early 1990s.
