A five million dollar lawsuit will be filed against the Episcopal Church based on sexual abuse allegations involving a former Jacksonville priest and a minor.

Miami law firm Herman and Mermelstein will handle the suit against the Episcopal Diocese of Florida.

According to the suit, back in 1969 Father Joseph Noll molested a girl under the age of 12. The suit says Father Noll was a former pastor at St. Stephen's in Jacksonville.
