HONOLULU (AP) — Another lawsuit against the Catholic Church in Hawaii claims a former Bishop sexually abused a boy who went to him to report he was abused by another priest.
Attorneys for the 59-year-old Honolulu man filed the suit last week claiming now-deceased the Rev. Joseph Ferrario sexually abused him in the 1960s. The same attorneys filed a lawsuit last year on behalf of a Los Angeles man who claimed Ferrario did the same to him in the 1970s.
The lawsuits are filed under a Hawaii law providing a two-year window for claims of sexual abuse against minors to be made, even if the statute of limitations has lapsed. The window closes April 24.
The Diocese of Honolulu didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.
