A man who alleges he was sexually abused by a priest at a Golden Valley church around 1962 has sued the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis.
The plaintiff, identified as John Doe 108, served as an altar boy at the Church of St. Margaret Mary when Rudolph Henrich was the priest there, according to the suit filed Monday in Ramsey County District Court.
Henrich sexually assaulted the child by sliding his hands down the boy’s pants and fondling him, the lawsuit said.
“Such abuse happened at report card time when Fr. Henrich would have the kids sit on his lap to go over their report cards,” according to the suit.
At the time, the boy was 10 or 11 years old, the suit said.
Henrich is not named as a defendant in the suit; he died in 1992.
