The lawsuit against the Roman Catholic Church in Oakland stems from a new law allowing survivors to claim for the suffering a dead loved one endured.
After decades of dealing with the boyhood trauma of being molested by a priest, Jim Bartko sued the Oakland Diocese of the Roman Catholic Church two years ago.A new law has now revived his case, allowing his estate to file for damages he could have sought for his suffering if he were still alive.
A spokeswoman for the Diocese of Oakland said it would be inappropriate to comment at this point, but noted that Kiesle had been removed from the priesthood.Pope Francis has changed church law to explicitly criminalize the sexual abuse of adults by priests. An emotional Bartko spoke at a news conference to announce the lawsuit in March 2020, joined at one point by the childhood friend who had been abused alongside him.
