Los Angeles (CA) — Tony Almeida, one of the plaintiffs in the recently settled lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, claims a priest in a Los Angeles parish began abusing him when he was an altar boy in 1974 at the age of 11.

Almeida says the trauma of losing his trust to a Catholic priest made it nearly impossible to trust others or sustain intimate relationships as an adult. He blames his two failed marriages on the abuse. Almeida talks with Noah Adams.
