Anchorage, Alaska - Another man has come forward accusing a former Anchorage priest of sexual abuse.
According to an amended complaint filed in Anchorage court yesterday, Joseph Doe V claims that Rev. Francis Murphy sexually abused him in 1976, when he was 12. According to the suit, Murphy rubbed Joseph Doe V’s body with Vaseline and then sexually abused him at St. Patrick's Church rectory.
Some of the other men listed in the complaint say Murphy did the same to them as early as 1964 and as recently as 1981. Each of them are seeking damages for at least $100,000.
