ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A teenage boy is seeking unspecified damages from the Archdiocese of Santa Fe in a lawsuit filed Wednesday.
The boy -- identified only as John Doe -- alleges he was sexually abused by a Raton priest last year.
The lawsuit also names as defendants Archbishop Michael Sheehan and former Raton priest George Silva.
Silva was indicted by a federal grand jury last month on four counts involving transporting a minor from New Mexico to France and Portugal for criminal and illicit sexual activity.
The lawsuit alleges the boy suffered physical injury, emotional distress, loss of self-esteem, disgrace, lost wages and expenses for medical care and counseling, the lawsuit said.
