CHILD ADVOCACY GROUP IN FINANCIAL FRAUD SUIT



Leading Contributor, Philanthropist Phillip J. Kronzer of the Kronzer
Foundation, Seeks Accounting from the International Humanitarian Campaign
Against the Exploitation of Children (IHCAEC) For Six-Figure Donation



Lawsuit in San Mateo County (CA) Cites Whistleblowers that Former CNN
journalist and IHCAEC CEO Christine Dolan Diverted Earmarked Funds Toward
"Unknown Purpose"

-------------------------------------------------------

SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA - August 8 - In a lawsuit filed on Friday, August 8,
2003 in San Mateo, California, the International Humanitarian Campaign
Against the Exploitation of Children (IHCAEC), a non-profit organization led
by former CNN journalist Christine Dolan, stands accused of failing to
provide an accounting of donations amid suspicions of misappropriation and
financial improprieties involving more than $270,000 in donations.



The allegations were made in a lawsuit filed on Friday by the Phillip J.
Kronzer Foundation, a substantial contributor to the IHCAEC and led by
Northern California philanthropist and anti-fraud crusader Phillip J.
Kronzer.



The lawsuit alleges that over an 11 month period, the Kronzer Foundation
provided the IHCAEC with in excess of $270,000 for joint projects aimed at
fighting child abuse within the Catholic Church.



After ending his association with the IHCAEC in December 2002, Kronzer was
told by two former supporters of the Massachusetts-based organization that
Dolan had diverted more than $25,000 of the funds earmarked for the joint
projects for her own use.



Attempting to resolve the matter through a simple accounting of how the
funds were spent, the Kronzer Foundation made no less than five separate
attempts in late 2002 through 2003 to contact the IHCAEC by letters
addressed to CEO Christine Dolan and counsel Joseph L. Doherty. All
correspondence was ignored.



To date, the IHCAEC has never provided the Kronzer Foundation with an
accounting of the funds, the suit alleges, and the organization has not
complied with requests to provide either a Federal tax ID number or even a
written statement attesting to their non-profit status. The suit seeks a
full accounting of the sum donated by the Kronzer Foundation, a refund of
the balance, court costs and interest.





BACKGROUND



The Phillip J. Kronzer Foundation for Religious Research was founded in
January 2001 by Phillip J. Kronzer, a successful businessman and
philanthropist. The Kronzer Foundation is a non-profit corporation based in
San Mateo County, California.



A survivor of a religious cult which destroyed his marriage and divided his
family, Kronzer has dedicated his life and donated more than $1 million of
his personal wealth to help victims and educate the public about the
destructive nature of religious fraud.



Kronzer Foundation vs. The International Humanitarian Campaign Against the
Exploitation of Children was filed on August 8, 2003 in the Superior Court
for San Mateo County (CA), Case #CIV433338.
