Files detailing alleged clergy abuse at Franciscans' St.
Anthony Seminary, a former boarding school in Santa
Barbara, have been released following a lengthy legal
battle.

The documents, posted online at bishopaccountability.org,
contain accusations of sexual abuse of children, and an
account of a man who describes being molested there as a
child and later molesting other childeren, says the L.A.
Times.

For decades, the now-shuttered St. Anthony's Seminary was
awash in dark secrets. A cache of documents obtained in a
lawsuit and posted online Wednesday, including [Robert]
Van Handel's so-called sexual autobiography, has begun to
shed some light on them. The documents, containing
accounts of 25 alleged victims who say they were abused
by nine clergy members, is the largest release of a Roman
Catholic religious order's confidential files, according
to a plaintiffs' attorney. Van Handel is the only one of
them who has been criminally convicted, notes the
newspaper.

About the terrorist Goon Squad:

"Myself, Mallu. Yourself?" (V. Bhattathiri)
<KalluM...@gmail.com> tries his best to be a bully --
telling others what and when to post, where to post and
where not to post, deliberately publishing lies about
others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but
fails miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his
lap dog Prem Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah"
<us...@this.com>, and issues *death threats* to people),
is priming himself for conditions such as stroke and
heart disease. Others in the Goon Squad include
Dayashankar M. Joshi "DMJoshi" <jos...@gmail.com> who
displays unquestioning obedience to Goon Squad thugs, and
the instigator who posts as "Bholu" <bh...@hotmail.com>

The Goon Squad currently posts most of their abuse
through eternal-september.org and by writing someone
else's name or handle in the "From:" header -- their
favorite now is "fana...@gmail.com" (note the extra "b"
and "gmail.com") to make it appear as if the posts are
from "fan...@aol.com", who has been a regular poster for
many years.
