Annandale priest under investigation of sex with minor
Investigation began in February, say police
by Gregg MacDonald, Staff Writer
http://www.fairfaxtimes.com/article/20120419/NEWS/704199724/1076/Annandale-priest-under-investigation-of-sex-with-minor&template=fairfaxTimes

An Annandale priest of the Diocese of Arlington who from 2004 to 2011 was in charge of the diocese’s Office of Child and Youth Protection was placed on administrative leave Wednesday pending the outcome of an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct involving a male minor in the late 1990s.

According to the diocese, the investigation is in its initial phase, and no final determination has yet been made regarding the allegation. “The Fairfax County Police Department was notified when the diocese received the allegation, and the diocese is cooperating fully with law enforcement,” the diocese said in a statement Wednesday.

Fairfax County police spoksesperson Luc y Caldwell said the Rev. Terry Specht of Annandale has been under investigation since February, but that no charges have been filed against him.

“Rev. Specht denies the accusation,” the Diocese said in its Wednesday statement. “The Diocese of Arlington has received no other allegations of misconduct against Rev. Specht. Like all priests, diocesan employees and volunteers who work with children, he underwent an official background check early in his tenure.”

According to the diocese, Specht served as a parochial vicar at St. Mary of Sorrows Church in Fairfax from 1996 to 2000, as chaplain and assistant principal at Paul VI Catholic High School in Fairfax from 2000 to 2004, as the Director of the diocesan Office of Child Protection and Safety from 2004 to 2011, and as administrator and pastor of Holy Spirit Church in Annandale since 2007.

Holy Spirit Church officials have denied comment on the case, but according to the church website, Specht attended St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa., the University of the State of New York, and the University of Hawaii. Following retirement from the U.S. Navy he attended Mount St. Mary Seminary in Emmitsburg, Md. His first assignment as a priest was at St. Mary of Sorrows parish in Fairfax Station.

“Any allegation of abuse deepens the pain felt by all Catholics, and particularly survivors of abuse. We are committed to full cooperation with law enforcement regarding this allegation, and I have directed an independent investigator to review the actions and decisions made by Father Specht during his tenure as Director of Child Protection,” said Catholic Bishop Paul S. Loverde in a statement.

Rev. Terry W. Specht
http://www.bishopaccountability.org/assign/Specht_Terry_W.htm

Summary of Case: Specht was placed on administrative leave in April 2012, due to an allegation that he had engaged in "sexual misconduct" with a teenage boy in the late 1990s. Specht was ordained in 1996, after a 21-year Navy career, where he worked on submarines. As a priest he was a high school chaplain and assistant principal, as well as the diocese's director of the Office of Child Protection and Safety, from 2004-2011. At the time of his removal from active ministry Specht was a parish pastor. Police launched a criminal investigation. Specht denied the allegations.

So how did this situation wind up?

Let me guess. The kid got a big check and a gag order and Father Specht got reassigned to another country somewhere.

Just like all the other times. Why is it always Holy Spirit and Paul VI? At least this time they could not keep the story from the media.

While there are many legitimate accusations that deserve prosecution (&more) the trend lately has been to remove any accused priest pending an investigation that never ends. They are simply "disappeared."

Arlington has another accused priest in whose case 5 years of investigation have yielded no more info - but he is still in limbo.

These "disappearances" serve no one well, let alone the victims past & (alleged) present. They simply serve to limit the liability of the diocese, while costing a possibly innocent priest his way of life. It's become a hopeless farce.

What if this man is innocent? Is it fair to treat him as if he's not?

Maybe that is a good question for the Arlington diocese as they are the only ones to take any actions against Father Specht so far. He has not been charged with any crime as far as I know.

You only have to go to the IHOP threads to see people are losing their discomfort over things like this. People there otherwise rational in other threads are arguing that because the killed guy was in a vehicle someone else was driving, that association means his death by the off-duty officer was absolutely justified.

I thought government would kill due process, it looks like we are. "By consent of the governed" is taking a totally different (and sad) direction.

By their logic, because Fr. Specht is a priest means he should be fired and clapped in irons. No due process, assume guilt by association with an extreme minority of his coworkers.

Not his decision. First step these days is to remove an accused from the congregation. Once everything is resolved, there will be some form letter read at mass. I'm told if you drop a letter in the collection plate that it will find its way to him.

Sadly things do not work that way where the Catholic church is concerned.
The accuser withdraws his complaint after receiving a big check and signing a legal agreement not to discuss the case or settlement with anyone. The priest gets re assigned to a far corner of the world to finish out his career in peace.

The Catholic church works in mysterious ways. What we know:

Police closed their investigation without bringing any charges.

May 3 - With Father Specht no longer pastor, Father deLadurantaye was named Parochial Administrator. Father Kenna remained as Parochial Vicar.

June 1 - Father Okala was also added as a Parochial Vicar.

July 6 - Father O'Donohue replaced Father deLadurantaye as Parochial Administrator.

August 17 - Deacon LaDuca was officially added to the leadership team.

I heard that some parents pulled their kids out of HSS because of this situation but it seems that they would be no less at risk at any Catholic school. For every one incident like this that makes it to mainstream media there are 3 or 4 that the AD stops with money. It makes me wonder how many of the accusations are based upon greed alone.
I am old enough to remember when Father Zonnveld disappeared overnight and went to precious blood in Culpeper, we never got the full story on that one but I heard a rumor that it was a hostile work environment claim by one of the teachers. I loved father Z but he rubbed some people the wrong way.

How you figure? He was suspended and then no charges were filed? How do you conclude he is guilty from that? Especially with no actual evidence or even an accuser?

The result of the police investigation is "no charges filed"

I heard that father Terry was assigned to a church in Norway.

From the Arlington Catholic Herald for the week January 23-29.

"Father Terry W. Specht - from Pastor of the Church of the Holy Spirit in Annandale to medical retirement with private residence, was effective January 1, 2014."

Father Specht was still officially pastor of Holy Spirit until 12/31/2013, but he was officially suspended during that time and not acting as a priest. I had heard rumors he was working for a company in the area, but it was nothing more than a rumor.

The fact that no charges were ever filed by the Commonwealth Attorney indicates to me that he was probably not guilty and there was insufficient evidence to support charges. I had heard a rumor (and I take it as nothing but a rumor) that the Fairfax County Police didn't have enough evidence to sustain an investigation, much less charges.

Father Specht and I helped my daughter through some tough times a few years back. She was stunned and hurt that he just disappeared like that. I know he is a great man and he must have had his reasons for going away like that.

Don't know weather he was guilty or not but Holy Spirit has quite the reputation going all the way back to the 1960s.

Have a strong personal interest in any info about priests at HS during the late '60s early '70s. My family joined HS when it was founded at Woodson High School in 1964. Things turned tragic for my family in 1971. Please contact me if you know anything about the priests who were at HS during that time. Thank you.

I do not recall any abuse at Holy Spirit but there were stories about the spring break retreats that they would send kids on. I think a couple Brothers from the Seminary were responsible for some abuse on a couple retreats but it all got covered up. I have no evidence it was just some stories I heard in Mrs. Barton's class. God bless you and try to get on with your life, it was a long time ago.

All those abusers are long dead but I have to wonder if the abuse still goes on today. It always amazed me how the parishioners would immediately rally behind the priests and call the already abused kid a liar who was going to hell if he did not stop. These kids got double abuse and it's no wonder some of them end up killing themselves. I was raised Catholic but the Catholic church sickens me and I have zero respect for Catholics today.

the church would never be destroyed from outside...but gay communists infiltrating the church along with false popes after 1958 (read up on sedvacantism) moving cancer from church to church PURPOSEFULLY rather than cutting it out has done what thousands of years of roman persecutions,
world war genocides (christians were the true target/victims of ww1/2/3)

hope you are still christian and that you pray for the church and my local catholic church is very different from the vatican which has illegitimate popes

Fr Robert Avella of st leos molested me in the 90's/2000's. I reported him after 10 years of silence and the police did nothing. The diocese is actively covering it up, filing a protective order against me despite the fact that I haven't seen him in several years. He's at our lady of Lourdes in Arlington now. Soon I will go down there and send him to hell myself.

If what you say is true he will get there on his own eventually. Please don't destroy the rest of your life. Doing that would only make you a victim again.

I've contacted SNAP as well as bishop accountability. Bishop accountability refused to list fr avella among the accused. SNAP just referred me to bishop accountability. For all I know the church owns those sites. I'm just as frustrated with FCPD a the diocese for failing to serve justice. Mister Flack - I agree with you, my favorite teacher in high school was a Puerto Rican Catholic and thanks to her I know that not all Catholics are bad. But as with "good" cops, you can't defend your bad corners and truly be good

I hear you man. The sad truth is that the Catholic Church is more powerful than our government is. You have to try to let it go but I know it's hard. I get a sick feeling every time I drive out Braddock road and pass that horrible place.

The physical abuse we endured is nothing compared to the mental suffering it causes. I sure hope the abuse is not still taking place today and maybe it's not happening in Fairfax today but we know it is still a tradition in the church as a whole.

Thank you for your kind words HS kid. The protective order he filed against me is the worst. I can't move on with it hanging over my head. Before he added insult to injury calling me a stalker, I was willing to accept that the police couldn't do anything. But now the cops have taken my firearms and I'm not going to take that. If he thinks that piece of paper is going to keep him safe he has another thing coming

Post all the ignorant little pictures you want, it still doesn't change the fact that Christians are far worse than any old Muslim when it comes to rape and violence. I know you are scared of them because you were born an ignorant coward so I understand that posting stupid stuff helps you deal with that.

(No wife, no children ( i know of. He entered Mount St. Marys later in life. I was home schooled so I naturally became his alterboy at Old St. Mary's Catholic church for daily mass. I grew up with strick conservative parents and the fact that they let me hang out with him (such an unconventional priest who listed to my same music. I thought him so cool I even called him my uncle to prevent embarrasment.He didn't mind that I smoked, (kool was his brand. That was just the beginning, wild turkey 101proof was his brand,and billiard or bulldog pipes were his favorite (with English tobacco.FYI the long sleeves were not for tattoos, rather one. A once colorful parrot that has sense been lazed leaving a scrawny stickfigure. Well I guess I've been going and on, so now to the point,he continued to become more sexual with me in subtle but more frequent ways. ( l was a minor at the.well after his grooming was complete, he decided to start with a massage turning into oral sax. I was terrified. I do not want money for the good parishioners of the Catholic churh. I do not want to defame the church. Rather I will ensure this never happens again det. Chambers investigated this case, along with the.D.a.anoth with the Church board.as well as a contractor fib profiler. Let's just say he was involuntarily retired.

I am sorry this happened to you. Pedo Fag priests are all going to hell, if there is one.

There are so many Pedo Fag priests who were never punished for their sins. I wonder how many Pedo Fag priests are still defiling their flock?

The Commonwealth refused to charge both Avella and Specht. Avella filed a protective order against his victim after he made a police report. Blatant cover up. What's more, both Specht and Avella were at St Leo's before being transferred/aided and abetted. That's where Ray Morrogh's kids went to school. Ray, being a parishioner, was legally obligated to recused both cases to another district. He did not. Something really needs to be done, legally or extrajudicially

Allegations of prosecutorial misconduct are almost as serious as clergy abuse itself. Mr Morrogh grew up with untouchable mafiosos beating up his lil bro. Such corruption is apparently what motivated him to become a prosecutor in the first place. It's sad how power changes people though. He's become what he hated though I doubt he'll ever even admit that to himself. Probably still thinks he's Robin hood or whatever

This has been going on for centuries. That's what happens when you exclude married men from the priesthood. Back in the day, at least the church executed their own when the screwed kids. These days the church spends millions on lawyers to protect the pedos and defile the victims even more. This is exactly why I'm considering ANFO instead of private revenge in the confessional
