Nashville, Tenn. -- A local priest, who is already serving time for child abuse, is back in the news now that the Nashville Diocese is facing a $10 million lawsuit from an alleged victim.
A Florida law firm announced the suit Thursday, which claims the Diocese knew Father Ed McKeown was a pedophile when they moved him to St. Ignatius church in 1988. The suit said this action knowingly put the parish's children at risk.
The victim involved in this particular case claims McKeown abused him for years.

McKeown is serving a 25-year prison term after pleading guilty to child abuse charges in 1999.
The Diocese said that they had not yet been served with the suit and that at this point it is too early to comment.
