[quote=Anonymous]For those who watched our Baltimore based  “The Keepers” story on Netflix, the Archdiocese of Baltimore (AOB) lied to our survivors, our producers and the public. They knew that Father Maskell was ordained in 1965, removed from his first parish in 1966 for sexual activity with Boy Scouts, then moved to St Clement’s Church where he was in charge of a Boy Scout troop and abused boys and girls, then shuffled to our Archbishop Keough High School in 1967 after abuse allegations at St Cements. When our survivors came forward in 1992 - they said Jean’s was the first allegation of abuse they ever had against Maskell. Their lawyers portrayed our two survivors who tried to file a civil case as crazy/delusional/confused. The church knew the whole time they were telling the truth.

When our documentary was released in 2017, the AOB ran a PR campaign called Fact or Fiction and said our story was fiction. They published articles denying any prior knowledge of Maskell’s abuse, and this was while the current Archbishop Lori was in charge. They lied, over and over - further harming the survivors they allowed to be assaulted in the first place. Our story was true. [/quote]
