SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP): A Texas lawsuit accuses a Roman Catholic priest who's a theology professor at the University of Notre Dame and a former priest of sexually abusing an underage boy more than 30 years ago.
The lawsuit filed Friday in San Antonio, Texas, alleges the unidentified boy was sexually abused by ex-priest Jesus Armando Dominguez while he was a student at Assumption Seminary of the Archdiocese of San Antonio. The lawsuit alleges he was sexually abused again when he reported the abuse to the Rev. Virgilio Elizondo, now a Notre Dame professor. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
Notre Dame spokesman Paul Browne said Wednesday the university was “reserving comment until further inquiries are completed.''
The Associated Press left a telephone message with Elizondo seeking comment Wednesday.
