Yet another child molestation complaint surfaced in the Evansville Diocese last week.
According to a scant police report, an unnamed accuser told the church they were abused more than 45 years ago in the 1700 block of Lodge Avenue: an address associated with the Holy Spirit Catholic Church and elementary school.
The accuser was reportedly younger than 14 when the alleged abuse occurred.
The report didn’t name the accused and didn’t give the incident an exact timeline. The incident summary on the police report contained all of 25 words.
Since the accused is apparently dead and the accuser now lives outside the area, Evansville police will not pursue an investigation – nor will they name the alleged perpetrator.
As far as the diocese, spokesman Tim Lilley declined to comment last week and reiterated that stance Monday morning.
We aren’t even sure if the latest accused person was a priest or a person affiliated with the church in a different way.
So, what do we know about this latest allegation?
