His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Six foot physical distancing and hand sanitizer — even the ability to wash your hands with soap — is limited in prisons. But somehow, COVID stayed out of San Quentin for about three months. When the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823976/botched-outbreak-of-covid-19-at-san-quentin-was-preventable-lawmaker-says\">botched transfer\u003c/a> (of inmates from Chino) happened, that just blew us away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor’s Note: San Quentin had remained COVID-free until 121 inmates were transferred from California Institute for Men in Chino on May 30.

The ventilation is absolutely poor. It is dirty. There’s mold. It is very antiquated. And on top of that, the demographic of people that are incarcerated in San Quentin are elderly or have chronic illnesses. There’s a huge population — including a huge transgender population — that we continue to forget, so there are men and women incarcerated at San Quentin, as well as correctional officers and medical staff and kitchen cooks who all live there. A lot of people feel like, ‘Oh, that’s just prison. Whatever happens inside stays there.’ But by neglecting prisons inside, we infect our society.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>On Being Released Before \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>San Quentin’s O\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>utbreak \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I do feel helpless and I do feel survivor’s guilt. A lot of us were serving life sentences and we either went to the parole board or were commuted by governors. In my situation, a piece of legislation changed and I was immediately released. I really feel like I escaped death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now a year later, there is this deadly virus that’s eating people up. It’s not just about surviving. It’s not just about who dies and who lives. People haven’t seen or heard from their families in four months. It’s devastation that we’re seeing — not just what’s happening inside — but as an extension, what’s happening to their families. And so when people say, ‘We’re on lockdown,’ I understand people’s journeys are completely different. For me, I’m just so happy to do this lockdown from the comfort of my home with a cellphone, a laptop and a Netflix subscription. People in (prison) don’t have anywhere near that. It’s just this feeling of helplessness. How do we help our friends? What power do we have to help? It’s hurtful knowing how limited that power is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11829412\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11829412\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-1920x1282.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Khan is the founder of FirstWatch, a project out of San Quentin State Prison featuring storytellers who are incarcerated. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Adnan Khan)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>On Advocating for People Still Inside\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I have spent hours and hours in self-help groups (at San Quentin) listening to and sharing people’s deepest traumas. I know what that did for the trajectory of their life. I know crimes that people committed and the remorse and they feel towards their crimes. I know what making amends looks like. That’s what really breaks my heart. And that’s what society does not see. We’re talking about people who’ve been through a lot and who continue to suffer. We’re talking about human beings, after all. So when people say, ‘So what? They committed a crime. Do the crime, do the time.’ That’s not a public safety response. I always say I went from an eight-year-old Little League Baseball player to an 18-year-old with a life sentence. None of us are born armed and dangerous. The state should have a higher moral authority than the people it condemns.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>When Being an ‘Essential Worker’ Is a Prison Job\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I recently received a call from one of my good friends in San Quentin. His name is Anthony Ammons, but I know him better as “Ant.” He is an essential hospital worker getting paid $1 an hour to clean COVID-19 areas. He couldn’t refuse to clean because he would get written up, which would affect his parole board hearing. Ant gave me a call and told me that he wasn’t getting showers after coming back from work. He and his cellmate contracted COVID because of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/akhan1437/status/1279955768247087104?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have not heard back from Ant and I don’t know what’s happening. Is he okay now? Is he in the hospital? Is he on a ventilator? Is he going back to work and cleaning COVID areas again? I just don’t know. I haven’t heard from him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>On How the California Department of Corrections Has Handled COVID-19\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It feels like it’s all over the place. I know from living in prison for 16 years that safety and security always eclipses any type of medical decision. I know people who tested positive and were put back in a cell with people who tested negative. After a lot of media pressure, they finally brought tents on the yard. People in dorms were told to sleep in opposite directions because — according to corrections, not medical — being diagonal creates six foot distance. Those are not health solutions. Those are not CDC guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Adnan Khan\"]‘This is not just a San Quentin problem. This is a problem for our entire nation if we’re trying to flatten the curve.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now we’re only talking about San Quentin, but they haven’t kept it out of the rest of the prison system. CDCR has blatant procedures to continue transferring people, and we know other prisons have been infected by transfers. A lot of people feel like, ‘Oh, that’s just prison. Whatever happens inside happens inside stays there.’ That’s how we infect our society out here by neglecting prisons inside. This is not just a San Quentin problem. This is a problem for our entire nation if we’re trying to flatten the curve.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>On Newsom’s Plan to Release 8,000 Incarcerated People by August\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>August is too far. When you need an urgent response to a pandemic, you do it immediately. If (Gov. Gavin Newsom) were to say that we’re releasing 2,000 people out of San Quentin, that would be a public health response. The only reason we have a COVID problem (inside prisons) is because we have a mass incarceration problem. There are so many people in prison, and prisons are architecturally designed to have the smallest spaces with the highest amount of people. So mass incarceration and COVID-19 go hand-in-hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>On Incarcerated People Losing Visits and Phone Calls With Family During COVID-19\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In my very strong opinion, the essence of rehabilitation is love and family reunification. (The prison system) is built to sever ties intentionally and limit the access to love, care and comfort. For mothers who haven’t seen their sons, whose children haven’t seen their fathers or mothers, it is excruciating.

The ventilation is absolutely poor. It is dirty. There’s mold. It is very antiquated. And on top of that, the demographic of people that are incarcerated in San Quentin are elderly or have chronic illnesses. There’s a huge population — including a huge transgender population — that we continue to forget, so there are men and women incarcerated at San Quentin, as well as correctional officers and medical staff and kitchen cooks who all live there. A lot of people feel like, ‘Oh, that’s just prison. Whatever happens inside stays there.’ But by neglecting prisons inside, we infect our society.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>On Being Released Before \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>San Quentin’s O\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>utbreak \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I do feel helpless and I do feel survivor’s guilt. A lot of us were serving life sentences and we either went to the parole board or were commuted by governors. In my situation, a piece of legislation changed and I was immediately released. I really feel like I escaped death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now a year later, there is this deadly virus that’s eating people up. It’s not just about surviving. It’s not just about who dies and who lives. People haven’t seen or heard from their families in four months. It’s devastation that we’re seeing — not just what’s happening inside — but as an extension, what’s happening to their families. And so when people say, ‘We’re on lockdown,’ I understand people’s journeys are completely different. For me, I’m just so happy to do this lockdown from the comfort of my home with a cellphone, a laptop and a Netflix subscription. People in (prison) don’t have anywhere near that. It’s just this feeling of helplessness. How do we help our friends? What power do we have to help? It’s hurtful knowing how limited that power is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11829412\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11829412\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC02723-1920x1282.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Khan is the founder of FirstWatch, a project out of San Quentin State Prison featuring storytellers who are incarcerated. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Adnan Khan)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>On Advocating for People Still Inside\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I have spent hours and hours in self-help groups (at San Quentin) listening to and sharing people’s deepest traumas. I know what that did for the trajectory of their life. I know crimes that people committed and the remorse and they feel towards their crimes. I know what making amends looks like. That’s what really breaks my heart. And that’s what society does not see. We’re talking about people who’ve been through a lot and who continue to suffer. We’re talking about human beings, after all. So when people say, ‘So what? They committed a crime. Do the crime, do the time.’ That’s not a public safety response. I always say I went from an eight-year-old Little League Baseball player to an 18-year-old with a life sentence. None of us are born armed and dangerous. The state should have a higher moral authority than the people it condemns.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>When Being an ‘Essential Worker’ Is a Prison Job\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I recently received a call from one of my good friends in San Quentin. His name is Anthony Ammons, but I know him better as “Ant.” He is an essential hospital worker getting paid $1 an hour to clean COVID-19 areas. He couldn’t refuse to clean because he would get written up, which would affect his parole board hearing. Ant gave me a call and told me that he wasn’t getting showers after coming back from work. He and his cellmate contracted COVID because of that.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

People in dorms were told to sleep in opposite directions because — according to corrections, not medical — being diagonal creates six foot distance. Those are not health solutions.

CDCR has blatant procedures to continue transferring people, and we know other prisons have been infected by transfers. A lot of people feel like, ‘Oh, that’s just prison. Whatever happens inside happens inside stays there.’ That’s how we infect our society out here by neglecting prisons inside. This is not just a San Quentin problem.

When you need an urgent response to a pandemic, you do it immediately. If (Gov. Gavin Newsom) were to say that we’re releasing 2,000 people out of San Quentin, that would be a public health response. The only reason we have a COVID problem (inside prisons) is because we have a mass incarceration problem. There are so many people in prison, and prisons are architecturally designed to have the smallest spaces with the highest amount of people. So mass incarceration and COVID-19 go hand-in-hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>On Incarcerated People Losing Visits and Phone Calls With Family During COVID-19\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In my very strong opinion, the essence of rehabilitation is love and family reunification. (The prison system) is built to sever ties intentionally and limit the access to love, care and comfort.

And now family members are just wondering, ‘What’s going on?’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we’re hearing is that people are taken to the hospital, they may have heard from their family a month or two ago when (San Quentin was still) running phones.

But as far as the world that he’s going to grow up in, I can’t control that.

You can do what’s called an “anonymous sexual assault exam,” and that doesn't go to the police, but it stays within the hospital records so that if you want to report at a later time, then you can activate that. But the record is there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's important for survivors to know they can seek medical care, go to a hospital and they can even get a rape kit exam done.

I think a lot of times, we do second guess ourselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would recommend people to read (a) book by Gavin de Becker, \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Fear-Survival-Signals-Violence/dp/0440226198\">The Gift of Fear\u003c/a>\" … What he talks about in this book, is we usually have that little voice in our head that tells us when something's not quite right. Some people listen to that voice, they trust that voice. And some people go and second guess it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people don't want to be afraid. They don't want to come across as being paranoid or doing things out of fear. So that voice is actually kind of trained in the wrong way in our brains. A lot of times you'll get a tightness in your stomach — or you’ll get like a sense that something is not right here — and I think that we need to trust that even if there's no proof, trust the voice that says, “Something's not right here.

You can do what’s called an “anonymous sexual assault exam,” and that doesn't go to the police, but it stays within the hospital records so that if you want to report at a later time, then you can activate that. But the record is there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's important for survivors to know they can seek medical care, go to a hospital and they can even get a rape kit exam done. They can say, “I want this to be anonymous,” and it will not get reported to the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Here is \u003ca href=\"http://www.bawar.org/get-help-for-yourself/\">more information\u003c/a> from Bay Area Women Against Rape about a survivor's choice on whether or not to report to police.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What if you’ve experienced sexual harassment or assault by a police officer, but you’re doubting or rationalizing the situation?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's really important for women to trust their intuition. I think a lot of times, we do second guess ourselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would recommend people to read (a) book by Gavin de Becker, \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Fear-Survival-Signals-Violence/dp/0440226198\">The Gift of Fear\u003c/a>\" … What he talks about in this book, is we usually have that little voice in our head that tells us when something's not quite right. Some people listen to that voice, they trust that voice. And some people go and second guess it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people don't want to be afraid. They don't want to come across as being paranoid or doing things out of fear. So that voice is actually kind of trained in the wrong way in our brains. A lot of times you'll get a tightness in your stomach — or you’ll get like a sense that something is not right here — and I think that we need to trust that even if there's no proof, trust the voice that says, “Something's not right here. You need to get out of here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.rainn.org/laws-your-state-california\">Here is more information\u003c/a> from RAINN on sexual violence laws in California.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What resources does RAINN provide for survivors of sexual assault?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RAINN is an anonymous and confidential hotline.

The 7:30 a.m. appointment would let her handle the errand — verifying her car’s vehicle identification number — and still make it to work on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when she met McGrew in the parking lot of the West Valley California Highway Patrol Office in Los Angeles, there seemed to be a problem. McGrew said he was having trouble finding the VIN sticker on her car door. Then, Nicole says, the conversation abruptly shifted.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Nicole\"]‘If this gets even more uncomfortable and sketchy what am I going to do next?’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“‘I'll pass this car, and you'll be able to get your registration, if you go out on a date with me,’” she remembers McGrew saying. “I kind of froze,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole says she was suddenly hyper aware of her surroundings — alone in a deserted parking lot with a man who was sitting in the front seat of her car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was going through my options in my head for a minute or two there trying to figure out: OK, if this gets even more uncomfortable and sketchy what am I going to do next?” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, she tried to laugh off his proposition. She needed him to sign off on her car’s VIN. But McGrew didn’t drop it; he kept asking. Twice more, she says, he offered to pass her car in exchange for a date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that point I just shut down completely, and just kind of gave him this look like, ‘I'm so uncomfortable,’” she says. “And then he got more awkward and finally just kind of stepped out of my car, handed me paperwork and said I was good to go. And then I drove off.”[aside postID=\"news_11817288,news_11786770,news_11758000\" label=\"California's Secret Police Files\" heroLink=\"https://www.kqed.org/policerecords\" target=\"_blank\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole, who spoke on condition that her full name not be published to respect her privacy, was one of 21 women McGrew propositioned and harassed during VIN verification appointments, according to records from a 2016 internal investigation obtained by KQED and the California Reporting Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four women said McGrew offered to pass their vehicles if they would go on a date or to a nearby motel with him.

The woman, who spoke Spanish, didn’t immediately understand what McGrew was asking. So, McGrew repeated the proposition twice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman went inside the office to complain about McGrew’s behavior. A sergeant asked her if she misunderstood McGrew due to the language barrier and if she’d been drinking or taking drugs. She said there was no misunderstanding and that she wasn’t under the influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She could not explain the expression on Officer McGrew's face, but she said he was smiling when he asked the question about getting a motel room,” the documents say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the internal investigation stemming from that incident the CHP sent three rounds of surveys to about 150 women between 18-40 years of age who’d made appointments with McGrew during his time as an inspection officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11829157\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11829157\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/rearview2.jpg\" alt=\"The beautiful eyes of the young driver woman are reflected in the rearview mirror.

One woman reported being scared to come back to the CHP for her follow-up appointment because she would have to see McGrew again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole says she didn’t make a complaint due to what she called her “classic chick response.” First, she blamed herself for agreeing to meet a man alone at 7:30 in the morning, even if he was a police officer.

Months later she learned she wasn’t the only one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole says when she started getting follow-up calls asking her to fill out a survey about her experience, she ignored them.

The firm has sued extensively — including the Vatican itself — on behalf of those sexually abused by clergy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(Presentation High) didn’t suddenly grow a conscience and decide it was wrong to hurt children. Those children grew up and those children became survivors and those children spoke to the media,” Reck said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reck draws attention to what’s not in the report: six staff members remain unnamed, for lack of evidence, say the report’s authors. He says the report was “carefully crafted such that it only trickles out the little bit of information that was required by survivors,” adding this is a “systemic problem with the Diocese of San Jose and with the \u003ca href=\"https://presentationsisterssf.org/\">Sisters of the Presentation\u003c/a>.” They are the Order of nuns who established not just Presentation High, but multiple schools around California, including several in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reck says the allegations of abuse against the unnamed people in the report should be thoroughly investigated for public safety. “Where do they live? What communities are they being exposed to? Have those communities been warned?”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Lawsuit is Coming\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Jeff Anderson & Associates plans to file suit against Presentation High — and the Diocese of San Jose — on behalf of a client alleging abuse by a nun at the school back in the 1970s. Reck said the firm is interested in more than the one woman. Through the process of discovery, “the identities and the whereabouts and history of every alleged perpetrator will be sought,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Leehane said she is satisfied with the way the new president of the school, Holly Elkins, handled the investigation. When Presentation High made the report public, Elkins and the Chair of the Board of Directors released a letter outlining its findings, along with the changes the school is making to ensure student safety moving forward. “To the survivors of abuse, we deeply and sincerely apologize. The stark truth is that our school did not live up to its commitment to protect you,” the \u003ca href=\"https://www.presentationhs.org/uploaded/2020-21/student_safety/Cmty_Ltr_7-9-20.pdf?1594308083647\">letter\u003c/a> said. Additionally, the entire board of the school resigned, writing “The time is right to step aside and make room for new oversight and governance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>***\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 7:00 p.m. 7/17/20:\u003c/strong> KQED contacted the Diocese of San Jose before publication of this story. The first statement, provided on 7/14, commended the Sisters of the Presentation and their high school for its independent investigation. A spokesperson for the Diocese also wrote by email, “\u003cem>Please note that Presentation High School is an independent Catholic school and not part of our Diocesan schools. They have a Board of Trustees and Directors, as well as the religious order that make decisions and operate independently from the Diocese.” \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>New Investigation Announced (bold added)\u003c/strong>: The Diocese of San Jose sent out a second statement at 4:26 p.m. on Friday, 7/17, saying it is “\u003cem>disheartened to learn of the findings presented in the investigative report…\u003cstrong>In reviewing Presentation’s newly released report, the Diocese has confirmed that it previously employed two of the individuals identified therein. Marian Stuckey worked for the Diocese as its Superintendent of Catholic Schools between 1993 and 2009. In addition, Jeff House worked as a teacher at Archbishop Mitty High School, a diocesan Catholic school, between 1982 and 1999. \u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“The Diocese of San Jose will, therefore, be initiating an independent investigation to ensure proper accountability of any complaints, allegations, or reported incidents that may have occurred during their respective periods of employment with the Diocese.” \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“The Diocese encourages any victim/survivor to come forward and report any improper conduct either historically or currently at Archbishop Mitty High School or any diocesan schools by taking the following steps: First, contact their local civil authorities. Then, once a report is filed with the local civil authorities, the individuals are encouraged to contact the Diocese’s Office for the Protection of Children & Vulnerable Adults at 408-983-0113. Reports to the Diocese are also accepted by a secure third-party reporting service at opcva.ethicspoint.com or call 1-844-372-1619. “\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 7/20/20:\u003c/strong> The Diocese of San Jose sent out a correction about Marian Stuckey’s title when she worked for the Diocese between 1993 and 2009. \u003cem>“She was hired as the Assistant Superintendent in 1993 and was promoted to Superintendent in 1999.” \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The firm has sued extensively — including the Vatican itself — on behalf of those sexually abused by clergy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(Presentation High) didn’t suddenly grow a conscience and decide it was wrong to hurt children. Those children grew up and those children became survivors and those children spoke to the media,” Reck said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reck draws attention to what’s not in the report: six staff members remain unnamed, for lack of evidence, say the report’s authors. He says the report was “carefully crafted such that it only trickles out the little bit of information that was required by survivors,” adding this is a “systemic problem with the Diocese of San Jose and with the \u003ca href=\"https://presentationsisterssf.org/\">Sisters of the Presentation\u003c/a>.” They are the Order of nuns who established not just Presentation High, but multiple schools around California, including several in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reck says the allegations of abuse against the unnamed people in the report should be thoroughly investigated for public safety. “Where do they live? What communities are they being exposed to? Have those communities been warned?”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Lawsuit is Coming\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Jeff Anderson & Associates plans to file suit against Presentation High — and the Diocese of San Jose — on behalf of a client alleging abuse by a nun at the school back in the 1970s. Reck said the firm is interested in more than the one woman. Through the process of discovery, “the identities and the whereabouts and history of every alleged perpetrator will be sought,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Leehane said she is satisfied with the way the new president of the school, Holly Elkins, handled the investigation. When Presentation High made the report public, Elkins and the Chair of the Board of Directors released a letter outlining its findings, along with the changes the school is making to ensure student safety moving forward. “To the survivors of abuse, we deeply and sincerely apologize. The stark truth is that our school did not live up to its commitment to protect you,” the \u003ca href=\"https://www.presentationhs.org/uploaded/2020-21/student_safety/Cmty_Ltr_7-9-20.pdf?1594308083647\">letter\u003c/a> said. Additionally, the entire board of the school resigned, writing “The time is right to step aside and make room for new oversight and governance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>***\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 7:00 p.m. 7/17/20:\u003c/strong> KQED contacted the Diocese of San Jose before publication of this story. The first statement, provided on 7/14, commended the Sisters of the Presentation and their high school for its independent investigation. A spokesperson for the Diocese also wrote by email, “\u003cem>Please note that Presentation High School is an independent Catholic school and not part of our Diocesan schools. They have a Board of Trustees and Directors, as well as the religious order that make decisions and operate independently from the Diocese.” \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>New Investigation Announced (bold added)\u003c/strong>: The Diocese of San Jose sent out a second statement at 4:26 p.m. on Friday, 7/17, saying it is “\u003cem>disheartened to learn of the findings presented in the investigative report…\u003cstrong>In reviewing Presentation’s newly released report, the Diocese has confirmed that it previously employed two of the individuals identified therein. Marian Stuckey worked for the Diocese as its Superintendent of Catholic Schools between 1993 and 2009. In addition, Jeff House worked as a teacher at Archbishop Mitty High School, a diocesan Catholic school, between 1982 and 1999. \u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“The Diocese of San Jose will, therefore, be initiating an independent investigation to ensure proper accountability of any complaints, allegations, or reported incidents that may have occurred during their respective periods of employment with the Diocese.” \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“The Diocese encourages any victim/survivor to come forward and report any improper conduct either historically or currently at Archbishop Mitty High School or any diocesan schools by taking the following steps: First, contact their local civil authorities. Then, once a report is filed with the local civil authorities, the individuals are encouraged to contact the Diocese’s Office for the Protection of Children & Vulnerable Adults at 408-983-0113. Reports to the Diocese are also accepted by a secure third-party reporting service at opcva.ethicspoint.com or call 1-844-372-1619. “\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 7/20/20:\u003c/strong> The Diocese of San Jose sent out a correction about Marian Stuckey’s title when she worked for the Diocese between 1993 and 2009. \u003cem>“She was hired as the Assistant Superintendent in 1993 and was promoted to Superintendent in 1999.” \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
