	New Lawsuit Alleges Sexual Abuse by Priest By Steve Miller WBBM April 6, 2006 http://www.wbbm780.com/pages/22580.php? CHICAGO (WBBM Newsradio 780) -- The Chicago Roman Catholic Archdiocese has been hit with another lawsuit from a man who says he was abused by a priest when he was younger. This latest lawsuit was filed by a man who wants to be known only as "Juan Doe," a 31-year-old Hispanic man living in the suburbs, who says he was abused from age 13 to 16, in the late '80s. The suit has been filed against the Chicago Archdiocese and against a former priest - a man who resigned from the archdiocese in the early '90s. Newsradio 780 is not naming the priest because his accuser - the plaintiff in the civil lawsuit - has not come forward with his own name. Barbara Dorris of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests says Cardinal George should be doing more to reach out to victims of abuse. "It's another case where he knew this man was abusing children and has done nothing to reach out to victims. He's just sitting back, waiting for people to file a lawsuit when he should be going to their parishes." A spokeswoman for the archdiocese says the archdiocese is "disappointed" that the suit was filed because she says the case was already part of a mediation process.
