April 25, 1995 Monsigncr Timothy Dyer Vicar fer Clergy Archdiocese of Les Angeies 3531 W. Ninth Street Los Angelee, Ca. 90015~1194 Monsignor Dyer: This letter is to inform you that during 1976~1981 I was sexually abused by my pastor, Msqr. Benjamin G. Hawkes. Even though he is dead, I believe the Archdiocese should be aware of Msgr. Hawkes' actiame.

The man that I trusted and respected as a mentor and spiritual father teak advantage of his position and left me with a traumatic experience to deal with. it has been threugh recent therapy that I have come to terms with how I am going to cape and overcome this terrible episode in my yeung adult life. I would like to meet with ycu at your earliest convenience te discuss this matter further. Please feel free to call me at Sincerely, REDACTED 6215??
