LAS VEGAS (KSNV & MyNews3) — A lawsuit filed against a catholic friar who was accused of sexually abusing a young boy while he was stationed in Las Vegas is over.
It was settled out of court for money and information. News 3’s Elizabeth Donatelli spoke with the former church leader and has that story.
The diocese of Las Vegas, which was also named in the suit, issued a statement back in 2011 saying they were not aware of previous allegations.
The following was read during mass at St. Christopher’s parish in March of 2011 when the Diocese of Las Vegas was made aware of the allegation against Brother Tom Thing who was temporarily assigned to the Diocese for a period of time in the early 1980’s. The Diocese was not aware of any allegations or misconduct by Brother Thing prior to or during his time in Las Vegas.
