INDIANAPOLIS -- A woman who accused a Roman Catholic priest of molesting her during the 1960s when he worked at a New Albany church has settled her lawsuit against the Indianapolis archdiocese.
The settlement was completed earlier this month when a joint statement by victim June L. Kochert and Archbishop Daniel Buechlein of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis was published in the March 4 edition of the archdiocesan newspaper.
The statement said the Archdiocesan Review Board substantiated the allegations against the Rev. John B. Schoettelkotte.
According to the statement, "Father Schoettelkotte subsequently resigned his post and has been barred from performing any priestly functions."
