$650,000 Settlement for Sexual Assault by Priest

$650,000 collected from the Archdiocese by a 22-year-old man who was sexually assaulted by a priest after questioning his own sexuality during counseling. The plaintiff thereafter became depressed and attempted suicide. The priest, who had a dubious history, including allegations he had solicited sex from an undercover police officer, was not authorized to conduct one-on-one counseling.
