Documents show that McGuire had a pattern: He would persuade a family to let their teenage son intern with him, and quickly move the boy into his room. And then, according an alleged victim who asked that his name not be used, McGuire would give the boy a sexual education, using the sacred rite of confession.

“We underwent something called a ‘general confession,’ whereby you just lay out your sins,” the alleged victim, a young man, told NPR. “And the priest will help you, talk you through it, maybe give you some guidelines for the future. And his guidelines were to teach me about sex.”

He says the guidelines included naked showers, massage and pornography. Between 1999 and 2002, the young man says he traveled with McGuire every summer, Easter and Christmas, and lived with him at Canisius House, a residence with other Jesuit priests. He said he cannot understand how they did not catch on that a teenager was living with a priest.”
