A former student at Bishop LeBlond High School in St Joseph has filed suit against a former priest, accusing him of molestation.

The lawsuit accuses The Reverend James Urbanic of molesting the student in the mid-1970s at St Francis Xavier Church and at LeBlond. The victim was a student. He’s now in his 50s and living out of state.

Urbanic was removed from the ministry when these allegations first surfaced, and issued a statement at the time admitting he had acted inappropriately.

Court documents accuse Urbanic of inappropriate touching, as well as laying on the boy, fondling him and rubbing his body against him.

According to the lawsuit, officials knew of more abuse, and more victims, and did nothing.

The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests is also calling on Bishop Robert Finn to come to St Joseph to encourage any potential victims to come forward.
