Defrocked ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick groomed his alleged victims using power, family and more, according to abuse prevention experts.
Two abuse prevention experts reviewed the 89-year-old McCarrick’s letters for The Associated Press and found that the disgraced McCarrick used his status, his contacts, flattery and familial language to make young seminarians and young men feel special before allegedly harassing or sexually abusing them.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith declared McCarrick guilty of “solicitation in the Sacrament of Confession, and sins against the Sixth Commandment with minors and with adults, with the aggravating factor of the abuse of power,” according to a Vatican statement. Pope Francis defrocked McCarrick in February.
