A Broward County man on Tuesday filed suit against the Archdiocese of Miami and a Dominican nun, claiming he was fondled and groped while in the first grade at St. James Catholic School in North Miami.
The man, now 38, claims Sister Joan Marie would approach him while standing in line with his classmates and pretend to tuck in his shirt. But the nun would reach down his pants and sexually abuse him, said his attorney, Jeffrey Herman.
Only identified as John Doe 73 — representing the number of cases Herman has filed against the archdiocese for alleged sexual misconduct — the man has decided to file the suit now because his own son is entering the first grade, Herman said.
“He just couldn’t be silent any longer. When he looks at his own son, he realizes he needs to speak out to protect other kids,” he said.

kind of a fantasy of mine if she was hot.
Well how would feel about Helen Thomas?
Could you be paid enough?
I am so trying not to laugh at that comment but I can’t help it!
I’m sorry. I’m not Catholic but this seems to fulfill a fantasy of mine. Especially if she was hot.
Why is this a problem?
This behavior degrades human beings. Sexual abuse leaves lifelong scars.
It's hard to believe a conservative would need to have this explained to him.
So...ahh...is Sister Joan Marie still working in the schools?
Or is this just a random scatter shot for a deep pockets lottery hit?
The plaintiff says he’s suing now to protect his school age son — even taking all at face value, I’d like to ask him why he would even enroll this son in that particular Catholic school if they haven’t purged the scandalous personnel, which might be more than that nun? Does he only get the choice of one school if he lives in a certain diocese?
“...identified as John Doe 73 — representing the number of cases Herman has filed against the archdiocese for alleged sexual misconduct “
Right, but it is hard to have any compassion for this guy, who sues 73 times?
This behavior degrades human beings. Sexual abuse leaves lifelong scars.
Only if she has long sharp finger nails.
“If it happened, it’s sexual abuse of a child, which is against the law.”
And if it didn’t happen it is a real travesty of justice isn’t it?
Debbie Washerman Shorts’s district.
He’s 38 years old and “He just couldn’t be silent any longer.”
Nothing else!
I remember grammer school ( back in the late 50’s) in N.Y. The nuns didn’t take any back talk or reason for not having an assignment completed on time. What was considered discipline back then(I can still taste the eraser dust and see the welts on my knuckles) would be considered assault today. As to sexual advances ‘’teacher’s pet’’ didn’t mean ‘’teacher petting’’.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It was assault.
Either you forgot to end your sarcasm or you missed that Herman was the attorney.
I think she now works for the TSA....as a trainer.
Well, it's a little different now.
My belief is that this man is either lying or that he imagined the whole thing.
