Lawyers representing a man who claims to have been sexually abused as a child by a Diocese of San Angelo priest have filed a lawsuit in 340th District Court in Tom Green County seeking unspecified damages against the diocese and Bishop Michael Pfeifer.

The unnamed plaintiff, the petition states, alleges that he was abused by Father David Espitia from 1994 until 2002. Espitia killed himself in 2003.

The diocese and the bishop denied all the allegations in a statement issued Wednesday.
