Molestation Lawsuit Settled Against Roman Catholic Diocese of Nashville

NASHVILLE (TN)
News Channel 5

The lawsuit was between the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nashville and two men who said they were molested by a former priest.

The case involved former Nashville priest Ed McKeown. Right now, he's serving a 25 year prison sentence for raping and molesting one of the men.

The abuse happened after McKeown left the diocese. But the two men filed suit, saying the diocese knew the priest was a sexual predator, and didn't warn the community.
