The Diocese of New Ulm has been named in a new lawsuit filed over alleged sexual abuse by a priest.
Minnetonka attorney Patrick Noaker filed the lawsuit in Ramsey County on behalf of a Colorado plaintiff referred to as John Doe 107.
The complaint says Father William Marks, who died in 1979, sexually abused the plaintiff while serving at the Church of St. John in Hector.
The lawsuit also names the Archdiocese of Minneapolis and St. Paul, which was Father Marks’ jurisdiction before the New Ulm Diocese was created in 1957.
