Stika: Blaming alleged victim in rape case was in good faith
The Bishop of Knoxville has admitted to accusing the alleged victim in a rape case involving a seminarian, but continues to deny culpability for impeding an investigation.
Bishop Rick Stika of Knoxville, Tennessee admitted last week that he told priests of his diocese that a seminarian accused of rape had actually been the victim of a sexual assault, rather than its aggressor.
The bishop said a parish organist, who accused the former seminarian of rape, had actually committed the sexual assault.
