	Teenager Files Abuse Suit against Sante Fe Archdiocese TheNewMexicoChannel.com March 30, 2006 http://www.thenewmexicochannel.com/news/8349286/detail.html Albuquerque, N.M. -- A teenage boy is seeking unspecified damages from the Archdiocese of Santa Fe in a lawsuit filed Wednesday. The boy -- identified only as John Doe -- alleges he was sexually abused by a Raton priest last year. The lawsuit also names as defendants Archbishop Michael Sheehan and former Raton priest George Silva. Silva was indicted by a federal grand jury last month on four counts involving transporting a minor from New Mexico to France and Portugal for criminal and illicit sexual activity. The lawsuit alleges the boy suffered physical injury, emotional distress, loss of self-esteem, disgrace, lost wages and expenses for medical care and counseling, the lawsuit said. The archdiocese said it disagrees with the allegations.
