LAS VEGAS (AP) — An advocacy group wants Catholic Church officials in Nevada to seek possible victims of a former Las Vegas priest facing sexual abuse accusations in Hawaii.

The Chicago-based Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests cites allegations by a 48-year-old Hawaii man against the Rev. Maurice McNeely.

The Hawaii man filed a lawsuit in October alleging sexual abuse when he was a boy.

SNAP official Barbara Blaine tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal (http://bit.ly/PA0RkJ ) that McNeely preached in the 2000s at the Shrine of the Most Holy Redeemer in Las Vegas.
