The story so far
Everything you need before watchingMike Rezendes asks whether any victim filed a criminal complaint. Garabedian says a few did, then a judge sealed the records after friends of the Church complained. Eric MacLeish is not part of the solution. Small talk about marriage turns sharp: the new editor is Jewish, Garabedian is Armenian, and Boston makes outsiders feel they do not belong. Then he inverts the proverb: if it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to abuse one.
