ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) -

A woman who says she was sexually abused by a priest as a teenager will speak publicly for the first time Monday. The 28-year-old accuses former St. Thomas professor and priest Michael Keating of sexually abusing her when she was 13.

The law firm handling the case will also release once-secret priest files for Father Keating, who has denied any wrongdoing.

The woman filed a lawsuit against Keating in 2013. She first reported the alleged abuse to the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis in 2006, but the lawsuit claims little was done upon her filing the report. Keating was in the seminary and 42 years old at the time of the alleged abuse.

Keating resigned from his position in September 2014.
