MEMPHIS (TN)

MEMPHIS, Tenn. A former Memphis alter boy is suing a priest who he claims molested him in the 1970s.
The suit names the Reverend Paul Saint Charles, who was suspended by the Catholic Diocese of Memphis following similar allegations last year.
The suit says the plaintiff was 13 when he sought counseling at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in the Frayser area of Memphis and then was abused.
The suit also claims that the diocese knew Saint Charles had a history of sexual abuse and that he was moved beyond local jurisdictions to avoid prosecution.
