THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, Wednesday, December 1, 2004 TACOMA, Wash. -- A 50-year-old man who claims two priests
sexually abused him while he was an altar boy at Fort Lewis has sued the
two priests, the Archdiocese for the Military Services and the Catholic
Archbishop of Seattle.
The lawsuit, filed in King County Superior Court on Nov. 19,
identifies the plaintiff, a Vancouver, Wash., resident, only by his
initials, J.I.
One of the priests, the Rev. Reinard Beaver, was removed from public ministry in 1988 after complaints about him surfaced, The News Tribune of Tacoma reported for a story in Wednesday editions. Other men have sued him, alleging sexual abuse, the paper said.
