	Woman Files Sexual Abuse Suit against Catholic School KESQ June 7, 2006 http://www.kesq.com/Global/story.asp?S=4998017&nav=9qrx SANTA ANA, Calif. A woman who claims she was sexually abused by her former choir teacher at a Roman Catholic high school has filed suit against the Orange County diocese, the school and the instructor. The suit claims lay teacher Larry Stukenholtz sexually molested and assaulted the woman at least a dozen times in 1998 when she was 17 and a student at Mater Dei High School. The woman's attorney said her mother reported the incidents to school officials, who were legally obligated to report them to authorities. The lawsuit also alleges that diocese and school officials "were apprised, knew or should have known" about the alleged abuse, but failed to do anything. A diocese spokesman said the diocese had not seen the lawsuit and couldn't comment.
