New indictment leaves Anthony Odiong facing seven sexual assault charges – all in connection with three women

A grand jury in Texas has handed up more felony sexual assault charges against a Roman Catholic priest accused of preying on women whom he met while ministering to them in that state as well as in south-east Louisiana, officials said.

Anthony Odiong is now facing a total of five charges of sexual assault in the first degree and two more such counts in the second degree – all in connection with three separate women – after a new indictment was handed up against him on Thursday in the McLennan county, Texas, state courthouse.

    Once upon a time, I was working briefly in a catholic hospital, a childrens and ob/gyn no less.
    As I started there, I was looking for the standards of care. All of my other workplaces had folders and folders of these standards outlining common tasks and problems in the field and how to treat them. A common tool of quality management.

    The only one I found was on how employees should act and behave in case of accusations of mistreatment and sexual abuse. Against anyone affiliated with the hospital or church. Who is to speak to involved parties and press and what employees are (not) allowed to say and do. Nothing about how to treat or help the patient. Only about keeping harm away from the institution.

    Should have left right then and there. But I only made it 6 months anyways.
