The suit, filed recently in state district court states that officials with Holy Spirit Episcopal School and the diocese did nothing even though they had received complaints that the former boys athletic director and coach had inappropriately touched students and sent them sexually suggestive text messages. The lawsuit states that the coach sexually assaulted the plaintiff. The coach, Christopher Williams, 35, is not named in the suit, but he pleaded guilty to multiple charges of sexual abuse of a child related to incidents at Holy Spirit School and to possessing child pornography. Diocese officials said they could not comment on the lawsuit because they had not seen it.
