Victim of ex-Catholic priest speaks out about abuse to inspire others to keep their faith

Victoria McQuade was only a teenager when Father Benedict Van Der Putten sexually groomed and abused her at the St. Aloysius Retreat House in Los Gatos, California in the late 1990s and 2000.

In an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews, McQuade, now in her 30s, is speaking out not only because she believes Van Der Putten, a former priest who has never faced jail time, is still a threat to women, but because she wants to help other victims as well.
