Gay CNN Anchor Was Sexually Abused By Priest
Thomas Roberts, CNN headline news anchor has revealed that he was sexually abused during his teen years by a Catholic priest.
Roberts came out as an openly gay journalist in September last year reported:
I became a victim of sexual abuse at the age of 14; the abuse lasted three years. It took me nearly 20 years to gather the strength to help put my abuser behind bars. Now, a year after "justice" was done, I am ready to tell my story publicly in ways I never have before.
My abuser was Father Jeff Toohey, a trusted man of God. He was the equivalent of a religious celebrity in my private all-boys Catholic school in Baltimore, Maryland. Father Jeff was every boy's friend and mentor. I considered him my mentor as well.
