For 40 years, Neal Gumpel kept the details locked away in a dark corner of his memory.

Details about the night he met the Rev. Roy Drake while visiting his brother at Maine Maritime Academy. The night Drake violently molested him. The night everything changed.

Though he kept it hidden, the encounter shaped his entire life. It led to alcohol and drug abuse, helped ruin his first marriage, kept him awake nights and even affected his health.

“It sounds dire, but I felt like I was at a point where I had to come forward or I was going to kill myself,” Gumpel said.

At the urging of his wife, Helen, who feared she was losing her husband, Gumpel contacted Mitchell Garabedian, the Boston lawyer who has represented hundreds of victims of sexual abuse by clergy and helped expose a massive cover-up of pedophile priests by the Catholic Church.

During that call in May 2013, Gumpel told Garabedian everything, thinking – hoping – that his pain finally would be acknowledged, that the church would take responsibility for what was done to him.

As it turned out, Garabedian already knew about Dr

Peter Gumpel

German Jesuit priest and historian (1923–2022)

Kurt Peter Gumpel (15 November 1923 – 12 October 2022) was a German Jesuitpriest and Church historian. A professor emeritus of the Gregorian University in Rome, he was the relator in Pope Pius XII's cause for beatification.

Biography

Gumpel was born in Hannover, Germany, as a member of the House of Hohenzollern, although he later changed his last name.^[1]

Under the National-Socialist regime, he and several members of his family were threatened by Nazis because of their anti-Nazi views, and he had to flee from Germany twice, first to France and then to the Netherlands, where during the war he went underground and helped Jews to flee.

Gumpel was involved in the beatification of Catherine McAuley. Angela Bolster, an Irish nun and McAuley expert, was appointed in 1979 as one of the first women to be a vice-postulator as Vatican rules were relaxed to allow this to happen.^[2] It was under the guidance of Father Gumpel, that she prepared work that was inspected by historians and theologian

As the Catholic order of Jesuits identified 50 of its priests as sexual abusers, one victim was left to wonder Tuesday why his sexual assault remains an afterthought.

Neal Gumpel accuses the Rev. Roy Drake of sexually molesting him in 1973, when he was 16 years old and the Jesuit priest was teaching at the Marine Maritime Academy in Castine, Me.

“They’re not being honest,” Gumpel told the Daily News of the Jesuits. “What they do is say he wasn’t here in a Jesuit school, didn’t have a teaching position.

“But he was still a Jesuit under their jurisdiction, and they later took him back into their fold.”

Drake — who died in 2008 — worked at Fordham Prep in 1965-66 and then Fordham University in 1966-68 before moving on from the Bronx. He was among the 50 priests publicly identified because of sexual abuse allegations deemed credible after a Jesuit investigation.

But the Gumpel charges were not included in the probe.

A decade after leaving Fordham, Drake returned as an educator at LeMoyne College in Syracuse and worked i
