In the wake of a wrongful death suit filed this week by relatives of a sexual abuse victim who committed suicide decades after he allegedly was molested by a priest, the Diocese of Orange issued a statement today expressing sympathy for the victims of the priest who served there more than 30 years ago.
Man in 50s Commits Suicide Over Years-Long Sex Abuse
Robin Ward Agrusa, whose husband was the late Mark Paul Agrusa, sued the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the Diocese of Orange on Tuesday on behalf of herself and her four children, alleging her husband committed suicide at age 50 because he was depressed about being molested by the Rev. Eleuterio Ramos in the 1970s in Placentia.
“The Diocese of Orange has been made aware of a lawsuit alleging decades-old sexual abuse on the part of Eleuterio Ramos, but has not yet been served with the lawsuit,” the statement read.
