S2 Ep7: Sister Cathy, The Courage of Jane Roe

By Shane L. Waters, Wendy Cee, Gemma Hoskins

In this seventh revealing episode, "Sister Cathy: The Courage of Jane Roe," we delve into the legal battles that erupted in the aftermath of revealed abuses by Father Maskell. Despite the troubling evidence presented by numerous victims, the state's prosecuting office, led by Sharon May, declined to press criminal charges – a decision met with bewilderment and frustration, which "The Keepers" documented with palpable tension.

As criminal avenues were obstructed, two women—known to the world only as Jane Doe and Jane Roe—braved the public's scrutiny and the pain of their past to seek justice through civil action. Their lawsuits opened a new chapter in the quest for closure and accountability, setting a precedent for survivors fighting to be heard against powerful adversaries.

Through a gripping narrative, this episode explores the complexities of the legal system, the courage it takes to confront one's abusers, and the systemic barriers victims face in their pursuit of justice. "Sister Cathy: The Courage of Jane Roe" is more than just a recount of past lawsuits; it is an homage to the unwavering spirit of survivors and an indictment of the failings of institutions meant to protect them.

With exclusive insights and piercing analyses, hosts Shane Waters and Gemma Hoskins, along with voices from "The Keepers," share the untold stories that piece together a mosaic of cover-ups, the struggle for justice, and the unwavering resilience of those harmed by those they were taught to trust.

Stay with us on "Foul Play: Crime Series" as we continue to shed light on the convoluted paths that led from Sister Cathy's unsolved murder to the courtroom struggles of Jane Doe and Jane Roe. This episode is a tribute to their bravery and a call to listeners to reflect on the strength required to challenge the silence surrounding abuse.
