Two Dioceses Sued Over Transfer of Known Sex Abuser Priest

Tampa Bay Times reported yesterday on a lawsuit filed against the Catholic Diocese of St. Petersburg (Florida) and the Long Island, New York Diocese of Rockville Centre. The suit was filed by Mark Cattell who says that as a 9-year old in 1981 he was sexually abused multiple times by a priest, Robert Huneke, after Huneke was transferred to Christ the King Church in Tampa from a church in Long Island where he had sexually abused a teenager over a number of years.
