	Men File Abuse Lawsuit against KC Priest My Fox Kansas City December 20, 2007 http://www.myfoxkc.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=5271656&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=3.2.1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sexual abuse allegations have emerged that involve a former Kansas City priest, and this particular clergyman is no stranger to this kind of lawsuit. Two victims say Thomas Reardon sexually abused them when they were boys, bringing the total number of lawsuits against Reardon to 16. Reardon, 65, was ordained in 1967, and left the priesthood in 1989. The victims claim the abuse happened while he served at two parishes in Kansas City - St. Elizabeth's and St. Gabriel's during the 1960s and 1970s. The men say they were between the ages of 11 and 13 when the abuse happened, according to the director of SNAP - the Survivors' Network of those Abused by Priests. Reardon served in six different parishes in the Kansas City area over 21 years, and has the most abuse cases filed against him than any other priest in Kansas City. Only Michael McGrath from St. Louis has more statewide, with 38 abuse cases pending.
