Call this the case of the invisible priest.
I’ve been been mystified about a Cincinnati woman’s allegations this week that a priest at a Fort Mitchell orphanage sexually abused her as a teen during the early 1960s.
Cincinnati lawyer Stan Chesley says the woman became pregnant and that the priest arranged for her to have an abortion.
Those allegations are part of a lawsuit that Chesley hopes will become a class-action suit in Boone County. Dozens of people have stated that 21 priests in the Diocese of Covington abused them and that church officials covered it up.
