STOCKTON, CA – His case was notorious, not just because of the sexual abuse he was convicted of, but because of his willingness to talk about his actions, both in a legal deposition and in a documentary film called Deliver Us From Evil.

Oliver O’Grady was convicted in 1993 of molesting two young brothers in Calaveras County and spent six years in prison. Upon his release, he was deported to Ireland, where he is once again behind bars, this time for possessing child pornography.

Now, a 25-year-old man is filing a lawsuit, claiming at the age of five he suffered sexual abuse from the defrocked priest.

Representatives of the group SNAP, Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, gathered in front of the Diocese of Stockton building on San Joaquin Street in Stockton Wednesday to announce the filing of the lawsuit.
