	Lawsuit Filed against Sex Offender By Edward Burch St. Joe Channel February 16, 2010 http://stjoechannel.com/content/fulltext_news?cid=109922 [with video] Michael Landy, a convicted sex offender, is facing a lawsuit that targets him, his church and the company where he worked. About a month after Landy's statutory sodomy conviction, his victim, who was 13-years-old at the time of the abuse, wants an undisclosed amount of financial damages. His lawsuit, which was filed in the Buchanan County Court alleges that the abuse occurred in several places including Landy's home, New Life Bible Church and the OATS offices, where Landy was employed at the time. Judge Dan Kellogg sentenced Landy to 120 days of shock detention back in January. He's still in custody serving that time. The victim is suing him for the injuries she says she suffered during the abuse. The protest group SNAP, that criticized Landy's shock treatment sentence, attempted to meet with members of New Life Bible Church to discuss ways to handle situations of abuse. However, no one was at the church when they arrived. Attempts to reach members of the church for comment haven't been responded to. A spokeswoman for OATS said the company hasn't received the suit yet and declined to comment further. Landy's shock treatment ends in May.
