JANESVILLE - Father Gerald Vosen's defamation of character suit against a Janesville man and his family over sexual abuse allegations is expected to continue through Thursday, Rock County Circuit Court staff said.

Vosen, former pastor at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Baraboo, is suing Peter L. Arnold and his parents, Leland and Nancy Arnold. They told church authorities in 2003 Vosen abused Peter in 1989-1991 while Vosen was pastor at Janesville's St. John Vianney Catholic Parish.

Vosen says in court documents he never had sexual contact with Peter Arnold.
