The Connecticut Appellate Court last week affirmed a lower court’s ruling that a South Windsor Church and the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut are not liable for the injuries a man suffered as a result of allegedly being sexually abused by a priest in 1977.
The Appellate Court held that the trial court properly concluded that St. Peter’s Episcopal Church of South Windsor and the the diocese were not liable to Robert Gough, who testified in a deposition that he was sexually abused by Bruce Jacques, a priest employed by the church and the diocese, in the spring of 1977.
