Thanks for the link!
tl;dr - the letter is 100% authentic, and the fact check is an interesting read.
Of course the details are even more horrific.
It's absolutely fucked up that there's a 2010 law (HB1104) preventing abuse cases from proceeding if the victim is over 40.
Who does that help, other than the Church? Fuck its constituent author, Steven Smith. He's the defense attorney for the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart, the religious order that has run St. Joseph’s Indian School in Chamberlain, South Dakota, since 1927. He is directly responsible for continued injustice and abuse.
