A former employee of the Kansas City-St. Joseph Catholic diocesan archives is suing the diocese, claiming he was sexually harassed at work then fired after repeatedly complaining about it.
The civil lawsuit, filed by Larry Probst this week in U.S. District Court, alleges that Probst was subjected to sexually offensive language, sexual advances and pornography on the computers at work. The suit seeks relief under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The diocese said in a statement that Probst worked part-time in the archives on an intermittent and as-needed basis when funds were available from June 2005 until June 2011.
