Lawsuit accuses Notre Dame professor of sexual assault
A Roman Catholic priest who is a theology professor at the University of
Notre Dame is accused of sexually abusing an unidentified boy more than
30 years ago in a lawsuit filed against him, the Archdiocese of San
Antonio and a former priest who is believed to have gone into hiding
more than a decade ago. The 19-page lawsuit, filed Friday in Bexar County District Court in San
Antonio, alleges that a boy listed as John Doe living in an orphanage
was repeatedly sexually abused by Jesus Armando Dominguez while he was a
student at Assumption Seminary. The lawsuit also alleges the boy was
sexually abused again when he reported the abuse to the Rev. Virgilio
Elizondo, who now teaches at Notre Dame. The lawsuit seeks unspecified
damages.
