Father Robert Hoatson of West Orange, N.J., spent years pursuing a religious life, all while, he says, suffering sexual abuse at the hands of fellow brothers, seminarians and superiors in the Catholic church.
When he spoke out, he was fired from his parish and put on administrative leave, forbidden to practice as a priest. He reaches out to other victims of clergy abuse and helps them find peace through his non-profit group Road to Recovery.
