	Catholic Diocese Settles Case Involving Lakeland Priest The Ledger April 9, 2010 http://www.theledger.com/article/20100408/NEWS/4085066/1338 The Catholic Diocese of Orlando has settled a lawsuit with a woman who accused a senior pastor of ignoring her pleas about a pastor who stalked and sexually harassed her. Wladyslaw Gorak, who was a priest at the Church of Resurrection in Lakeland, and who was also known as Walter Fisher, was arrested in 2005 and charged with burglary with assault, false imprisonment, aggravated stalking and battery. He pleaded guilty in 2007 and was sentenced to four years probation and ordered to undergo counseling. He is no longer at the church. The lawsuit filed in 2006 says Gorak broke into the woman's house, overpowered her and ripped her clothes before she escaped. The diocese agreed Thursday to pay the woman an undisclosed amount.
