Another civil lawsuit has been filed against the Stockton Diocese alleging sexual abuse by a Catholic priest, this time on behalf of a 25-year-old man who says he was molested by Oliver O’Grady in the early 1980s.

According to the complaint, filed Monday in San Joaquin Superior Court, the abuse happened in 1992 when the plaintiff was 5 to 6 years old and O’Grady was a priest at St. Andrew’s Parish in San Andreas. O’Grady was arrested there a year later and convicted of molesting two boys. He was deported to Ireland after his release in 2000, and has since been named in many lawsuits, including one pending in Stanislaus County.
