A 14-year-old boy whose parents
thought it would be best for him to live with a Catholic priest after he
ran away from home was sexually abused daily by the priest for about
two weeks, according to a lawsuit filed in local court on Thursday.
Former
island priest Andrew Mannetta allegedly sexually abused the plaintiff,
identified in court documents only as G.E.J. to protect his privacy, at
the rectory adjacent to San Miguel Church in Talofofo in 1985.
