(AP) CHICAGO A man who alleges he was sexually abused by a Catholic priest as a boy in the northern Illinois community of Woodstock has filed a lawsuit today.
Andrew Howell claims he began to remember two years ago that he was sexually abused in the 1970s by William Joffe at a Catholic school he attended.
Joffe was removed from the priesthood in the 1990s after a separate allegation of sexual abuse. Since then, at least seven people have reported to the Rockford Catholic Diocese that they were molested as minors.
