Judy Jones, the guys life is already ruined. Go ahead and judge him. That is your right, and your will. Nobody knows exactly what happened 30 years ago. Go for it reach out to anyone looking for a civil suit, let them get their money and move on. When ever something like this happens, whether it was 1 time or not, so many more false alligations come out of the woodwork because of people like you. But if this is what you want to dedicate your life to, then so be it. Judge all the people you want, just remember, one day you will be judged to. I'm tired of all the negative posts, I'm tired of seeing a name drug through the mud before anyone knows the exact truth, I tired of people who don't know this man working so hard and spending so much time to ruin his life. Again, your going to continue to do whatever you feel is nessacary, and that is your decision. My judgement may be clouded because I have only known Father for 10 years, and your right I to dont know what happened 30 years ago. The only thing I know is what a good man he has been in the last 10. He was been a mentor and a friend to many people...
digitgal: get your facts straight, Father Tom did not admit to sexual abuse. He admitted to having relations with a minor (17 years old). At the time Father Tom would have been 26 or 27 years old. Was it wrong, yes, but abuse no. The way this is being handled is ridiculous. It is all about some stupid people wanting to get paid. Why else would a 50 year old come forward 30 years???
Hey Judy Jones, do you know the difference between allegations and convictions. Nobody even knows who you are, just as most people posting don't know Father Thomas Crum. So basically, someone can make these same allegations toward you, right? Get a real job!
I was an alter boy at St. Peter of the fields church. Father Crum never even remotely made any advances of any kind toward anyone at that church. Go ahead and contact them, nothing would be found
Priest is silent on claims of of abuse
