Buffalo Diocese Sued By Sex Abuse Victim For $300 Million
WGRZ News reported Monday that the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, New York has been sued for $300 million by a woman who says that she was sexually abused between 1978 and 1981 by the priest who was her high school science teacher. The accused abuser, Rev. Mark Andrzejczuk, who died in 2011 was a member of a Franciscan order which is also named as a defendant. New York's recently passed Child Victims Act opened the way for Gail Holler-Kennedy to file the suit.
