A former priest with the Archdiocese of St. Louis was sued Tuesday by a man accusing him of sexual abuse at St. George Parish in Affton 30 years ago.
Due to a recent sexual abuse allegation, the Archdiocese of St. Louis has suspended a retired priest.
The archdiocese announced today that it had suspended the Rev. John J. Ghio, who is alleged to have sexually abused a minor in the early 1980s.
