WINONA, Minn. (KTTC) — –
A new civil lawsuit has been filed against the Diocese of Winona, alleging sexual abuse of a teenager in 1962.
The Hamilton James law group filed the lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of the victim. A criminal complaint says Fr. Richard Hatch was a priest at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Winona when he allegedly sexually abused a boy who was 13 or 14 years old at the time.
The complaint alleges the Diocese knew about Hatch’s behavior, but did not not address the misconduct.
