LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) —A teenage girl and her father are suing the Archdiocese of Los Angeles alleging they bear responsibility for the female’s sexual abuse at the hands of a coach who killed himself when he was confronted by the dead.
St. Lucy’s Priory High School, an all-girls school in Glendora, was also named in the suit.
The suit erroneously named St. Lucy’s Priory High School in Glendora as a defendant instead of St. Lucy Catholic School in Long Beach, according to the archdiocese, which released the following statement:
“The lawsuit appears to incorrectly name St. Lucy’s Priory High School and the Benedictine Sisters as defendants,” the statement read. “It appears that the lawsuit refers to St. Lucy’s School in Long Beach since it also names the late Scott Landerville, a former volunteer (coach). The complaint contains a number of claims, including an allegation of misconduct involving a former student, which the complaint states to have occurred, after the student was at our school. We will be investigating the matter and have not been served in the litigation.”
