Over the course of four decades, the Episcopal Diocese of Texas and St. Stephen’s Episcopal School officials were told repeatedly that the Rev. James L. Tucker had molested minors in the past but they took no action against the former St. Stephen’s chaplain, according to a timeline released last week by the diocese.
According to the timeline, an investigation this year found at least nine people ”” including one from Houston not publicly acknowledged until now ”” who claim to be victims.
Also, for the first time since the diocese announced the allegations in May, the former head of St. Stephen’s, Allen Becker, who had received allegations from students in the 1960s, has issued a public apology, saying he “should have responded differently.”
Tucker, who retired in 1994, will face charges in a church trial unless he admits guilt and agrees to resign from the ministry, diocesan official said.
It took a little but I see they nailed him.
Hold on. He has committed felonies. And they are gong to let him walk if he confesses? Some justice system. LM
