ST. LOUIS (MO)
Post-Dispatch
A Missouri man filed suit against a former Catholic priest, the St. Louis Archdiocese and Archbishop Raymond Burke late Friday, claiming a priest sexually abused him almost 20 years ago.
The suit says Donald Straub fondled the plaintiff from about 1977 to 1978 while Straub worked at St. George Parish in Affton.
The man has suffered emotional distress, trauma, depression and other effects of the abuse, the suit says.
The Vatican defrocked Straub in January. He was ordained in 1975.
