	Court: Rev. Stepek Cannot Sue Accusers Southtown Star October 14, 2009 http://www.southtownstar.com/news/1824401,stepek-lawsuit-court-1014.article The Rev. Robert Stepek cannot sue two brothers who accused the one-time Burbank priest of molestation now that the Illinois Supreme Court refused to consider Stepek's appeal, the Chicago Tribune reports. A three-judge state appellate court panel this summer threw out a lawsuit filed by Stepek accusing the brothers of defamation. An investigation by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago found "reasonable cause" to suspect the sexual abuse of the brothers occurred and Stepek was removed as St. Albert the Great pastor in 2006. Stepek has been accused of abuse while he served at St. Christiana Catholic Church in Chicago's Mount Greenwood community and at St. Symphorosa Church in the city's Clearning commmunity.
