BRISTOL, CT (WFSB) –
The Archdiocese of Hartford is facing a lawsuit from a man who says a priest in Bristol sexually abused him for years.
Matthew Cornell filed the suit in New Haven Superior Court on Wednesday.
In the lawsuit, he accuses Father Gregory Altermatt, who was a priest at St. Matthew Church in Bristol, of sexually abusing him between 1976 and 1985.
Cornell says in the lawsuit that the abuse began when he was in grade school, and continued into the 1980s after his mother died and he spent more time with the priest.
