The tragic story of the Fortney sisters who were preyed upon by the same priest, at times even in front of their parents

The incident turns even more harrowing as one of them claimed that his despicable actions began when she was a toddler.
UPDATED SEP 10, 2018

In a disgusting turn of events, four Pennsylvania sisters have come forward claiming that they were all sexually abused by the same Catholic priest. In an even more harrowing turn of events, one of them claimed that his despicable actions began when she was a toddler.

The girls in question - aka The Fortney sisters - named Patty, Lara, Teresa, Carolyn, claimed that they were victimized by the priest in the central Pennsylvania town of Enhaut. The abuse had begun in the early 1980s, and per Carolyn's recount of the horrors, she wasn't even two when it began with her.  “I didn’t realize it until I was 12,” she told the CBS Evening News, in an interview airing Thursday night. “I was watching a movie of a priest molesting altar boys and that’s kind of the day that I put it together.”
