Supreme Court allows lawsuit in Catholic priest abuse case

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday allowed a lawsuit to proceed that accuses the Archdiocese of Milwaukee of transferring a child molester from Wisconsin to work as a Roman Catholic priest in California.

The justices declined without comment to block a lawsuit involving allegations that the priest, Sigfried Widera, molested an 8-year-old California boy after his move.

Widera committed suicide in 2003, a year after Eric Paino sued him and the Milwaukee Archdiocese over the alleged 1985 sexual assault. Before his death, Widera fled the country to avoid trial on dozens of counts of child molestation in Wisconsin and California.

He had been convicted of perversion with a boy in Wisconsin in the 1970s before he moved to California.
