A Catholic priest has filed a defamation of character lawsuit against his former diocese after being accused of molesting children.
A lawsuit by a former priest is seeking punitive damages for"severe humiliation, mental anguish, and emotional and physical distress" after being outed as an accused child molester by the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego.
Foley is hardly the first priest from the area accused of child sex abuse. The San Diego Diocese previously settled a 2007 lawsuit claiming child molestation by a further 48 priests under their purview. Victims, abuse survivors, activists and members of the global organization Ending Clergy Abuse take part in a global"March to zero tolerance," on February 23, 2019 in Rome, Italy.Foley was temporarily suspended from the San Diego Diocese in 2010. His position was restored in 2012 when an internal tribunal was found to be"inconclusive." That same year, he was approved by the Diocese to lead a retreat in the neighboring Diocese of Orange.
