If you have knowledge or have been harmed by Sorenson, please report it to the police, not church officials. These are serious crimes against kids and they should be investigated by the independent professionals in law enforcement. Thankfully he has been indicted by the federal grand jury. This priest needs to be kept away from kids.
Also, know that you are not alone, and there is hope, help, and a chance to protect kids.
