$225,000 Sex-Abuse Settlement Involves Former Auxiliary Bishop With Kansas City Diocese
KANSAS CITY, MO -- Two Roman Catholic dioceses have reached a $225,000 settlement with a Houston man in a sex-abuse case involving a former auxiliary bishop from the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph. The dioceses of Corpus Christi and Baton Rouge settled with Glenn Hymel, who alleged that Bishop Joseph Vincent Sullivan molested him three decades ago. Sullivan was an auxiliary bishop of the Kansas City-St. Joseph Diocese from 1967 to 1974. He is not to be confused with Bishop John Joseph Sullivan, who was the leader of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph from 1977 to 1993.Click Here For The Full Story......
