Sex Abuse Victim in Court for Assaulting Priest.

In Los Angeles, California there was some news of a priest being beaten. Sounds like the priest was robbed then battered, but no, he was beaten by a former accuser of sexual abuse. A man who was abused by the priest more than 35 years ago, beat the priest outside of his retirement home! Usually, it's the accused that goes on trial, but in this case, the young man who beat the priest is facing charges. He is charged with assault and elder abuse and if convicted, could face up to four years in prison. It's understandable that the man is very upset and angry, but beating the man only made it worse. Facing a prison sentence is a hard price to pay for being the victim of abuse, it should be the priest going to prison for his wrong doing!
