A lawsuit alleging sexual abuse at the hands of a retired Sudbury priest has ended in a settlement.
The civil case involved a former altar boy who says he was sexually assaulted as a teenager by father John E. Sullivan nearly 50 years ago.
The lawsuit names Father Sullivan and the Diocese of Sault Ste Marie for damages amounting to $3 million.
Sullivan was criminally convicted in the early 1990s for sexual crimes against boys – 15 in total, according to the plaintiff’s lawyer, Rob Talach, from Beckett Personal Injury Lawyers based in London.
