Our big hope is to be able to talk to the members of Dove of Peace Lutheran Church. The word "protest" may be strong—but if it gets exposure to Holtan's crimes, then we can help protect kids. We believe that the members of Dove of Peace are victims, too—duped by a clever sex offender who refused to disclose his past crimes. The only way to stop abuse is to talk openly, work together, and ensure that men like Eric Holtan are never allowed to work with kids.
I was also a child sex abuse victim of a clever and cunning high school choral director (not Holtan). I know how these adults use music and charisma to groom entire communities and sexually abuse children. My greatest fear is that there are victims in Tucson, suffering in shame and silence.
