The Sioux City Catholic Diocese, and two of its former priests, are being sued by a former parishioner, who says he was sexually abused.

Jeffrey Steinke, who now lives in Montana, grew up in Fort Dodge, Iowa and graduated from Saint Edmond High School in 1982. In a lawsuit filed Thursday, Steinke claims John Kurzak, a priest at Corpus Christi church at the time, and John Perdue, a seminary student, performed a sex act on Steinke against his will when he was a minor.

And, Steinke says they coerced him to engage in sex acts by violating a position of trust.
