RE: Salesian High School Sex Abuse Reports filed this week
 
Dear Sergeant Dickerson,
 
This letter is regarding the two molestation complaints filed this week, against the Clergy sex abusers at Salesian High School. I understand your office has several complaints filed against several Clergy child predators from Salesian High School. SNAP- (The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) records show that there are 21 Salesian clerics locally in California that have been accused of crimes against children including child rape, sodomy, oral copulation, lewd and lascivious conduct, and molestation. This amount of 21 local accused pedophiles is a world record.

 The 21 local California Salesian Clerics who were convicted and/or accused are:

Fr. Bernard Dabbenne, Bro. Sal Billante, Fr. Steve Whelan, Fr. Harold Danielson, Bro. Jesse Dominguez, Fr. Jim Miani, Bro. Mark Epperson, Fr. Richard Presenti, Fr. Larry Lorenzoni, Bro. John Vas, Mr. Vitone, Bro. Dan Pacheco, Fr. Al Mengon, Bro Ralph Murguia, Fr. Fleming, Fr. Juan Sanchez, Fr. Emanual Palayo, Bro. John Verhart, Fr. Mario Blanco, Bro. Anthony Juarez, and Bro. Ernie Martinez.

Many of these accused Salesian predators are scheduled for civil jury trials next month in L.A. The greatest cause of concern is that there is a residence on the Salesian school grounds in Richmond where many of these accused and convicted molesters have lived, or may be living now. A Salesian "kingpin" from San Francisco, Fr. Malloy, is currently listed as living at the residence. Fr. Malloy, who shields and protects several of the accused, previously had 3 of these accused predators in residence at St. Peter and Pauls in SF with him. Fr. Steve Whelan, found guilty of molestation by civil court trial in 2006, previously roomed with Malloy in SF clear up to the court verdict.
 
We do not know if Whelan is back at the Salesian School grounds now. I can tell you firsthand that Whelan is a violent disturbed sex offender, as I have testified against him in court for molesting me as a child.

As you have suggested, I will contact the Community Violence Center as well.

Thank you for your cooperation,
Joey Piscitelli
