Default Judgments Totaling $3M Entered Against Former Priest

According to the Boston Globe, yesterday a Massachusetts state trial court awarded two clergy sex abuse victims damages of $2 million and $1 million respectively after former Catholic priest John Dority failed to appear in court or respond to a lawsuit filed against him.  The 70-year old Dority, now a registered sex offender living in Connecticut, earlier told reporters that he did not respond to the lawsuit because he could not afford an attorney. He has admitted molesting the two victims and says he is very sorry.
