It was supposed to be a safe place– the church just across the street from his home– where a now 49-year-old Colorado man says he was sexually abused when he was an altar boy.
He’s been named John Doe No. 87 and has filed suit against the Diocese of Bismarck, alleging that while his family was stationed at Fort Shafter in the early 1970s, he was sexually abused by Father Maurice McNeely.
According to the man’s attorney, this is only the beginning of a series cases he will be filing in Hawaii and claims that there may be more victims in military families.
