KANSAS CITY (MO)

A former worker at the Kansas City-St. Joseph Catholic diocesan archives is suing the diocese, claiming he was sexually harassed at work then dismissed after repeatedly complaining about it.
The civil lawsuit, filed by Larry Probst in U.S. District Court, alleges that Probst was subjected to sexually offensive language, sexual advances and pornography on the computers at work. The suit seeks relief under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
A spokeswoman said the diocese has not received the lawsuit and is not able to comment on any factual allegations in it.
But the diocese did say in a statement that Probst worked part time in the archives on an intermittent and as-needed basis when funds were available from June 2005 until June 2011.
