The first female survivor of clergy sex abuse has sued the Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese.
The plaintiff’s attorney George Kontos tells KDKA Radio’s Joe DeStio
“Not unlike a lot of the abuse that we have already filed complains for it involves a known predator priest in this instance a Father Paul Pindel who was at St. Genevieve church in Canonsburg in addition to various other places. We believe he was transferred about 12 times,” says Kontos
Pindel is named in the Pennsylvania grand jury report.
The lawsuit alleges the abuse occurred in 1982 when the plaintiff was 15 or 16-years-old while Pindel was counseling her.
