Santa Rosa diocese hit with two more fraud and negligence suits

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

Two more former Humboldt County altar boys filed lawsuits yesterday against the Catholic Diocese of Santa Rosa, claiming they were molested by the Rev. Patrick J. McCabe when he was assigned to their parish in Eureka during the 1980s.  They also allege the diocese knew McCabe faced allegations of child sex abuse in a former assignment in Ireland and had been treated for pedophilia at a clinic in New Mexico, but failed to disclose this information to the parish.

Bishop Daniel Walsh says there was nothing in the church files that would have alerted his predecessor Mark Hurley to McCabe's misconduct in Ireland or his treatment. McCabe, now 74, remains in custody in Alameda County jail pending extradition to Ireland to answer molestation charges.

These are the third and fourth suits to be filed against the diocese for fraud and negligence.  Attorney Joseph George has filed similar suits in Los Angeles and Fresno.
