Another man has come forward and filed suit against former Catholic Priest Michael Tierney. David Tate claims Tierney sexual abused him 40 years ago.
Tierney had been the priest for Christ the King Church in Kansas City, Missouri until Bishop Robert Finn removed him on June 2 after credible reports of sexual misconduct with minors in the 70s and 80s came to light.
Tierney has a total of four suits filed against him. The latest, filed by Tate, alleges that Tierney molested Tate when he was 12 and 13 years old. According to court documents, Tierney molested Tate at a pool and at a home between 1971 and 1972. Tate was a student at St. Elizabeth School during the time of the alleged abuse. Tierney was the associate priest of St. Elizabeth Church.
SNAP, the Survivor's Network of Those Abused by Priests, is urging the diocese to warn parents that one of Missouri's most widely accused former priests, Tom Reardon, lives a mile or less from three schools. Reardon is accused of sexually abusing 23 people. Reardon left the priesthood during the 1990s.
