By Cletus Ernster
An attorney has filed a sexual assault lawsuit in Galveston on behalf of an 80-year-old woman who alleges that a former church pastor made unwanted phone calls, sexual comments and propositions to her, as well as physically assaulting her. According to a December 5, 2009 article posted by The Daily News, a Galveston County newspaper, the victim has not only filed a lawsuit but also, through her attorney, gone to the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office. As stated in the article, the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office has not charged the former pastor but is investigating and has asked members of a Texas City church with information to call his office at 409-766-2352.
In the lawsuit, the victim’s attorney names the Texas City church, the church’s national organization and the former pastor. Filed in Galveston County’s 122nd District Court, the sexual assault lawsuit seeks damages up to $25 million plus interest on allegations of negligence, infliction of emotional distress, sexual exploitation, assault and battery and false imprisonment.
