A new lawsuit is being filed against a St. Cloud priest accused of sexual abuse.
Lawyer Jeff Anderson says the lawsuit names the Diocese of St. Cloud, Father Antonia Marfori and Cathedral High School as defendants.
The lawsuit is being filed on behalf of a victim who claims he was sexually abused by Marfori when he was 15 years old. He says Marfori was his religion teacher at Cathedral High School in St. Cloud at the time of the abuse.
At the time of the lawsuit, Marfori worked as a sacramental minister at St. Andrew’s Parish in Elk River. After learning about the allegation, the Diocese of St. Cloud said that Marfori’s priestly faculties have been removed while the investigation is underway, meaning he can’t function or present himself as a priest.
