The Roman Catholic Diocese of Erie has reached a $2 million settlement with a man who was allegedly sexually abused as a minor by a former priest in the diocese for nearly eight years.
The victim, who is being referred to as “John Doe,” was allegedly assaulted while Poulson was assigned to St. Michael’s Church in Fryburg and St. Anthony of Padua Church in Cambridge Springs from 2002 to 2010.
The male, now in his 20s, has only been been identified as “Victim No. 1” in the criminal case, but details of his abuse allege that Poulson made Doe say confession after the assaults.
