A West Lafayette mental health counselor and former Catholic priest in Lafayette has agreed never to work with or around minors under an out-of-court settlement in three lawsuits alleging he sexually abused three Navajo men when they were children.
Charles Cichanowicz, 68, who is listed in property tax records as a resident of West Lafayette, formerly worked as a priest at two Lafayette churches from 1987 to 1991. Prior to that he was a priest in the Gallup Diocese of New Mexico.
An attempt to reach him by phone Monday afternoon was unsuccessful.
