The student claims school administrators and officials in the Los Angeles Archdiocese could have prevented the 2006 incident.

The plaintiff, identified as John Doe, filed the suit in Los Angeles Superior Court against his former high school teacher, John Malburg, and the Archdiocese, which owned the school. The plaintiff’s suit alleges sexual battery and negligence.

The plaintiff said he was coerced into appearing in a series of pornographic videos produced by his teacher at Daniel Murphy Catholic High while church officials tried to cover up the allegation as early as 2005.

A spokesman of the archdiocese disputed accusations of negligence and said Malburg was removed quickly when information surfaced.
