BLOOMFIELD, Conn. - A former state police chaplain accused of using his police cruiser to lure young boys to have sex with him is being ordered to come back to the state to face a sexual abuse lawsuit.

The Rev. Stephen Foley is accused of abusing several young boys. A federal judge has ordered him to return before the end of October or forfeit his right to defend himself in a civil case.

Eleven men have accused Foley of molesting them when they were boys. Foley denies the accusations and has never been arrested.

After the allegations of abuse originally surfaced, the Hartford Archdiocese reassigned Foley and paid a settlement to his alleged victims.

Foley's attorney said his client is now too sick to testify. Foley was ordered to leave the St. Thomas seminary in Bloomfield last year.
