Sixth sex abuse lawsuit filed against priest

A Shelton man claims, in a lawsuit filed Wednesday against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport, that he was repeatedly sexually assaulted by a priest while he served as an altar boy at the former St. Patrick Parish here in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The lawsuit, filed in Superior Court, brings to six the number of men who have claimed in lawsuits to have been sexually abused by the Rev. Walter Phillip Coleman since the 1970s.
