A Civil lawsuit has been filed in Pima County Superior Court against the Catholic Diocese of Tucson and the Diocese of El Paso.
At the center of the lawsuit is a former teacher at Salpointe Catholic High School, Father Richard Zamorano.
Court documents state Father Zamorano was incardinated in El Paso, but later moved to Pima County.
The lawsuit claims Father Zamorano was under the supervision of the Diocese of Tucson and El Paso at the time the wrongful acts he was accused of, occurred.
The lawsuit states the victim in this case is a”vulnerable adult”with mental, cognitive, and physical disabilities. He was raised in the Roman Catholic Faith and was raised to believe that priests were next to holy. He placed a great amount of trust in Father Zamorano because he was a priest.
