Humboldt County Church which is part of the Santa Rosa Diocese 2023 sex abuse lawsuit states member of parish was presented once when the plaintiff was abused by a clergyman

 




I have reported previously in 2023 on child abuse cases and Catholic Dioceses in California filing bankruptcy to settle sex abuse lawsuits or facing lawsuits.

On 2/6, I saw a case management conference scheduled in S.B. A vs Doe 1 Diocese on the Humboldt Superior Court calendar. 

This lawsuit was filed 3/9/23. The plaintiff SB.A is represented  by Herman Law's Mr. Gregory Garcia. All filings in e court so far are from plaintiff. The proof of service lists Santa Rosa law firm Shapiro, Galvin, Shapiro and Moran as Attorneys for Doe 1 Diocese, Doe 2 school, Doe 3 parish and Does 4 to 25.

The lawsuit alleges "Plaintiff, asa minor, was sexually abused and assaulted by a clergyman." Another member of the parish was present during one of the alleged incidents.

Plaintiff is now an adult. Lawsuit says "over the age of 40"; that was in 2023. The church, parish is located in Humboldt County but not named in the complaint.

Court minutes from 2/6/26 were not available late Friday.

I am adding court documents. There are a lot and when you do not see this note, the post is complete.
