A Virginia woman claims in a $5.3 million lawsuit that a priest repeatedly molested her over a two-year period during what was supposed to be an exorcism.
The plaintiff, identified in court paper only as Jane Doe, filed the suit earlier this month against the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, Va., its bishop and an anti-abortion ministry that employed the exorcist.
She is seeking $5.3 million in damages, the Associated Press reports.
The complaint alleges that she went to Rev. Thomas Euteneuer in 2008 to seek spiritual help and that he called her case “severe.”
