A lawsuit that will be filed Tuesday in Stearns County District Court accuses a St. Cloud diocese priest of sexually abusing a St. Cloud Cathedral High School student in the 1970s.
Father Antonio (Tony) Marfori is a sacramental minister at the Church of St. Andrew in Elk River. He was assigned to St. Mary’s Cathedral in 1979-80, when the abuse is alleged to have occurred, according to Jeffrey Anderson, who is representing the men suing Marfori.
Marfori abused two students in the late 1970s, according to Anderson.
The lawsuit that Anderson is filing names Marfori, the Diocese of St. Cloud and Cathedral High School as defendants. The man filing the lawsuit claims that Marfori abused him when he was 15, when Marfori was a religion teacher at Cathedral.
