NEW ULM — The Diocese of New Ulm has been named in another lawsuit that accuses a priest of sexually assaulting a boy and makes a demand for the diocese to release a list of 12 priests who have had credible allegations of sexual abuse made against them.
The latest lawsuit claims the 13-year-old boy was attending St. Thomas More Parish in Lake Lillian in 1976, which is within the Diocese of New Ulm, when a priest named J. Vincent Fitzgerald took him on a trip to Squaw Lake in northern Minnesota. While on the trip, Fitzgerald allegedly sexually abused the boy as St. Catherine’s parish, said a news release from the victim’s attorney, Jeff Anderson.
