A former chancellor of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego and
administrator at the University of San Diego was named in a civil suit
yesterday alleging he raped a schoolgirl in 1972. Monsignor I.B. Eagen,
who died of cancer in 1997 at age 67, was included in the latest of what
is expected to be close to 100 lawsuits charging sexual abuse by
members of the clergy in the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego.
The suit, filed on behalf of a now 45-year-old woman, also alleges abuse by a nun who worked at a boarding school called Nazareth House that for years operated near the San Diego Mission in Mission Valley. The suit also says the woman was abused by a caretaker at Nazareth House, identified as Richard Gordon, and later at University High School by a priest, Father Robert Buchanan, who served as a counselor at the school in San Diego. The defendants in the suit are the diocese, University High School and Nazareth House.
