Prominent Boston Attorney Mitchell Garabedian has
charged Catholic church officials with not properly supervising the
late Father James R. Nickel, who the lawsuit claims sexually abused
young boys during his time in local churches.
In one lawsuit, the alleged abuse took place while Father Nickel supervised and counseled young boys at St. Mary's Parish in Fairhaven. The plaintiff in this case is anonymous, but is said to live in Fairhaven. In the other lawsuit, the charges come from Brian Blackmore of Orlando, Fla.; the abuse allegedly occurred when Father Nickel was at Holy Trinity Parish in West Harwich.
