Omaha Anti - Porn Crusader 
Investigated for Sexual Abuse

Omaha Anti-Censorship Home

      In July 2000, the anti-porn group Omaha for Decency ran a full page ad in the Omaha World Herald. The ad expressed the group's support for the prosecution of  Omaha stores that sell porn. This ad was signed by Omaha area clergy. 
        One of the signers of the ad was Father Franklin Dvorak. In April 2012, a woman reported to the Omaha archdiocesan review board that Father Frank Dvorak had sexually abused her in the early 1970s when she was a high school student and Dvorak was assigned to Sacred Heart parish in Norfolk. The review board determined that the allegations are credible and Dvorak has been suspended from ministry at least until a full investigation is complete. (The allegations are too old for him to be criminally charged.) (Omaha World Herald, 4/30/2012)
Father Dvorak appears to be another hypocritical censor, crusading against porn then being investigated for sex abuse.
         Below is the portion of the anti-porn ad with Father Dvorak listed as a supporter. (The entire ad can be viewed here.) KMTV's report on the allegations against Dvorak can be viewed here.
