Ray Mouton, Key Figure in Exposing Clergy Abuse, Passes Away at 78
Ray Mouton, a former attorney who played a pivotal role in exposing the Catholic Church's clergy abuse crisis, has died at the age of 78. Mouton was initially hired to defend a priest in Louisiana but became a whistleblower after discovering systemic abuse within the church. His efforts, alongside others, led to significant investigations and reforms within the church. Mouton's work laid the groundwork for major exposés, including the Boston Globe's Pulitzer-winning series. Despite his disillusionment with the church, Mouton continued to support efforts to address abuse and advocate for victims.
