TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) – A lawsuit claiming sexual abuse by a former Topeka priest is moving forward.
Earlier this week, a judge in Wyandotte county refused to throw out the case.
The lawsuit claims a former priest at St. Matthew Catholic Church in Topeka sexually abused a young boy in the 1980s.
The 20-page lawsuit claims that a former priest here at St. Matthews, referred to only as Father MJ, sexually abused a young boy from the age of 9-12 in the early 80s.
Kansas City Attorney Rebecca Randles represents the boy, now a man, who filed the lawsuit.
