MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A St. John’s priest accused of sexual abuse allegedly told his victim it was required as a part of the confirmation process.
On Monday, a new lawsuit was filed against Father Michael Bik and St. John’s Abbey.
Prosecutors say Bik abused a boy at St. John’s Prep after the school learned he sexually abused two students in the 1970s, when he was a teacher at St. Stephens in Anoka.
They say Bik admitted to the abuse in 1998 and St. John’s allowed him to keep teaching.
