Sex-abuse Survivor Steps From The Shadows: Nearly Four Decades After A Priest Raped Him, Former R.i. Man Depicted In 'spotlight'

PROVIDENCE — You won't hear Jim Scanlan's name in the film "Spotlight." But you will see him portrayed as "Kevin from Providence," who suffered sexual abuse by a Boston College High School priest in the late 1970s. The film is a fact-based drama about the Boston Globe Spotlight Team's Pulitzer Prize-winning 2002 investigation of the Catholic Church's cover-up of clergy sexual abuse. The former Rhode Island resident wants to help other survivors.
