An Oregon man using a pseudo name of “David Smith” is suing the Dominican Order and Holy Rosary Church in Northeast Portland.
Smith was an altar boy at the time. He alleges he was sexually abused by Father Emmerich Vogt.
“He was subjected to kissing, extended hugging, touching, something no kid should have to go through, especially with a priest,” Smith’s lawyer Kristian Roggendorf of Roggendorf Law said.
Also in the complaint are allegations of graphic sexual conversations.
“That can really mess with a child’s mind having to endure that day after day, year after year. For years and it’s really something that shouldn’t have happened,” Roggendorf said.
