A survivor of childhood sexual abuse by a defrocked Boston Catholic priest who was portrayed admitting to molesting minors in the Oscar-winning Hollywood film Spotlight says he hopes the clergyman’s recent death in prison helps victims of his crimes and their families “keep pressing forward every single day”.(一名童年时遭波士顿天主教神父性侵的幸存者表示,他希望这位神职人员最近在狱中的死亡能帮助受害者及其家人“每一天都继续向前迈进”。该神父已被免去神职,在奥斯卡获奖影片《聚焦》中,他被描绘成承认猥亵未成年人。)

“We live with a big burden(负担,重负) in our hearts and on our backs,” Keith Townsend said on Wednesday while reflecting on the criminal charges which he successfully pursued against Ronald Paquin, who was imprisoned in 2019 and died in custody at age 83 on 11 September.(基思·汤森周三在回顾他对罗纳德·帕坎成功提起的刑事指控时说道。帕坎于2019年入狱,9月11日在羁押中去世,享年83岁。) “And my hope is that people can find closure(找到解脱,得到了结) and move on(继续前进,放下).”
“我们心中和背上都背负着沉重的负担,”基思·汤森周三在回顾他对罗纳德·帕坎成功提起的刑事指控时说道。帕坎于2019年入狱,9月11日在羁押中去世,享年83岁。“我希望人们能找到解脱,继续生活。”
Those remarks by Townsend, 52, during a telephone interview were a notable reaction to the death of one of the key figures in the clergy sexual abuse and cover-up scandal with the Catholic archdiocese of Boston that – among other consequences – prompted the resignation of the institution’s archbishop, Bernard Law, at the end of 2002, as well as policy reforms across the US church.(52岁的汤森在电话采访中发表的这些言论,是对波士顿天主教总教区神职人员性侵及掩盖丑闻关键人物之一死亡的重要反应。该丑闻的后果之一,是促使该机构大主教伯纳德·劳于2002年底辞职,并推动了全美教会的政策改革。)
