Joseph Maskell, a priest who served as her Catholic high school’s counselor and chaplain. She said she reported her abuse to church officials in the early ‘90s, when her memories of the trauma finally surfaced about two decades after she was repeatedly raped.Maskell abused at least 39 victims, according to the report.
