	Man Sues Seattle Archiocese over Sexual Abuse By Carol Smith Seattle Post-Intelligencer April 18, 2008 http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/359709_priest19.html A man who says that the Rev. James Knelleken, then a priest in Raymond, sexually abused him has filed a lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Seattle. The alleged victim, identified by the initials "L.J,." was about 16 years old in 1959 when the alleged abuse took place at Immaculate Conception Church (now known as St. Lawrence) in Raymond. L.J. is now 65 years old. The lawsuit, filed in King County Superior Court, is the second against Knelleken, who was removed from the ministry in 1988 and subsequently defrocked by the Vatican, according to L.J.'s attorney, James Rogers. The priest is dead.
