Attorneys representing a Mission teenager have sued the Catholic Diocese of Brownsville alleging negligence after the teen had been a victim of sexual assault by a deacon.

Police arrested Mitchell in January 17 on the charge of continuous sexual abuse of a child, his case remains pending in court.
