ALBANY — Alleged sexual abuse, apparent hush money and a lawsuit from a 23-year-old inmate were brought to the front steps of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany Tuesday.

Supporters of 23-year-old Martin Morales gathered in the front yard of the Albany Diocesan headquarters Tuesday afternoon to rally against the alleged sexual abuse the former Cairo altar boy and his brother, New York State Trooper Ivan Morales Jr., experienced at the hands of Father Jeremiah Nunan.

Martin Morales filed a civil suit against Nunan for alleged sexual abuse that took place while he was between the ages of 7 and 12 during the years of 1996 and 2003. The alleged abuse then continued for a series of another five years between 2006 and 2011.
