Abuse Victim, Boise Catholic Diocese Strive For Settlement
Boise, Idaho -
TJ Hopper of Caldwell says his long nightmare started in 1976 at St. Paul's Catholic Center in Boise.
"I was sexually molested by a priest at St. Paul's Catholic Center from about the time I was 10 years old on," Hopper told Local 2 News.
Hopper, now 40,says that priest was Father Jim Worsley, a family friend, and he says the abuse lasted four years on weekends and vacation visits and included threats.
"He'd say: 'You know your parents will go to jail unless you do what I tell you to do,'" Hopper said. "Well, as a 10 year old, a kid, you don't know better. Of course, now I know that was absurd."
Hopper says he reacted by blocking the abuse from his memory. But in 1992, he says it all came back in a flood of emotions.
