MOBILE, AL (WALA) – The Archdiocese of Mobile is attempting to block subpoenas related to sexual abuse allegations, according to court documents. Reverend Johnny Savoie at St. Pius X Catholic School is being sued by four parents for allegedly failing to protect their children from claimed bullying problems.
During that lawsuit, attorneys found a statement by Father Savoie to his parish that an Archdiocese investigation found there was no evidence supporting previous claims of sexual abuse allegations involving a minor.
FOX10 wanted to find out what the archdiocese had to say about it – but so far, they refuse to comment, and their attorneys have also been putting up quite the fight in court.
It all started when four parents of former students at Saint Pius X in Mobile filed suit against Father Johnny Savoie, the school’s head administrator. They claimed he didn’t stop their children from being bullied, despite repeated requests for help.
“Multiple occasions (I) went in to the principal’s office and was told it would be taken care of, to go ahead and go to work,” said Kristen Rosson, one of the parents filing suit in the case.
