The two boys, who didn’t know each other, told similar stories of abuse in various rooms of the church and school including the church altar and his office at the Catholic school where he would call them out of class and make them sit on his lap. By the end of 2002 five more lawsuits had been filed naming McSheffery as the abuser. By then he had gone to Florida where he would live the rest of his life. The church kept paying him a stipend although he was barred from celebrating Mass or hearing confession and he could no longer wear the priest’s collar.
