Clergy abuse program questioned
Albany, New York --
The Independent Mediation Assistance Program, or IMAP was set up outside of the Albany Catholic Diocese in order to help those affected by clergy sex abuse.

A ploy that Mark Furnish said has been in response to the hundreds of alleged clergy sexual abuse cases that took place within the Albany Roman Catholic Diocese years ago.
Scott Fine of IMAP said, 'There were a number of instances in which individuals who had been victimized preferred to seek services and compensation from an entity other than the church.'
