MEMPHIS - A former altar boy is suing a priest who he claims molested him in the 1970s after he sought counseling with the church.
The suit names the Rev. Paul W. St. Charles, who was suspended by the Catholic Diocese of Memphis after similar allegations against him last year. The diocese and Bishop Terry Steib also are named as defendants.
The suit filed by attorney B.J. Wade claims that the plaintiff was 13 when he sought counseling at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in the Frayser area of Memphis. He says he was molested by St. Charles.
