JOLIET, Ill. (STMW) – New allegations of sexual abuse are being leveled at a former priest from the Diocese of Joliet already accused of molesting several young boys in the 1970s.
Terence Breen sued Lawrence Gibbs and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Joliet in Will County Circuit Court this week. He claims Gibbs gave several young boys alcohol and pornography during a retreat at a Wisconsin cabin in 1977, had them play games, swim and perform other activities naked.
And he said Gibbs took him into a cabin bedroom to molest him in 1978.
A spokesman for the Diocese of Joliet didn’t return a call seeking comment Wednesday afternoon.
