Two former Port Dover altar boys are each seeking damages of $3.1 million in a sexual-abuse lawsuit filed Monday against a priest, the Roman Catholic Diocese of London and past and present diocesan bishops.

The suits by Trevor Kannawin and Philippe Lauriault, both 22, were announced at a press conference in London Monday morning.

Named as a defendant in the civil action is Rev. Konstanty Przybylski, 56, who served as a parish priest in Port Dover between 1993 and 2000.
