PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A man has filed a $6.35 million lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Portland, alleging he was sexually abused decades ago by the Rev. Maurice Grammond, Oregon’s most notorious pedophile priest.
Grammond, who died in 2002, molested dozens boys between the 1950s and 1980s, and lawsuits stemming from his behavior cost the archdiocese more than $30 million in settlements by 2007 — the year its bankruptcy proceeding was finalized.
