	Former Altar Boy Suing Claiming He Was Abused by Priest Herald Sun October 15, 2011 http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/pedophiles-victim-wants-justice/story-fn7x8me2-1226167549497 A VICTIM of a notorious pedophile priest is pursuing his alleged tormentor to the grave demanding justice. Kevin O'Donnell died a few months after being released from jail in late 1998 for convictions involving attacks on children spanning 50 years. Now a former altar boy is suing for unspecified damages those he claims are responsible. The victim, known only as XYZ, has lodged a writ in the Supreme Court claiming he was sexually abused between 1988 and 1992 at a Sacred Heart primary school in Oakleigh and as an altar boy in the Sacred Heart parish, Oakleigh. Court documents claim O'Donnell abused the victim while providing religious instruction and pastoral care at the school and while a priest in the parish. He is suing the former school principal, Noreen Harrison, and the Catholic diocese of Melbourne, which owned the school and the parish.
