A Manhattan Beach woman who says she was sexually abused by a priest is calling out the Los Angeles Archdiocese for allowing him to keep ministering.
KNX reporter Margaret Carrero:
Several years ago, Kate Bergin sued the Archdiocese for allowing Father Nicholas Assi to remain in the ministry at different parishes after he allegedly touched her inappropriately while she was setting up Mass.
Today, he’s at St. Luke’s in Temple City.
Despite settling her lawsuit for about $100,000, Bergin felt a need to speak out because she believes there are probably other victims.
