Davenport Diocese Is Facing Another Sexual Abuse Lawsuit. Another lawsuit has been filed against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Davenport over alleged sexual abuse by priests. The lawsuit was filed yesterday in Clinton County District Court by a Wisconsin man. It names the diocese and the Reverend Francis Bass. The Diocese Should Have Known […]

The Diocese Should Have Known About The Sexual Abuse

In the lawsuit, the man claims the abuse began in 1982 when he was an altar boy at St. Patrick’s Parish in Delmar. The man says the diocese should have known about the abuse but failed to take action against the priest.

The diocese issued a statement yesterday acknowledging the lawsuit. It says Bass has been retired since 1992 and doesn’t have any diocesan duties.

Five other sexual abuse lawsuits against the diocese have been filed in Clinton and Scott counties this year. Two others were filed in Des Moines and Lee counties.

I would like it known, to those concerned, what a wonderful job Benita Rollis did on my behalf concerning the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund claim. Her skill and compassion made my experience with Parker Waichman one that I will not soon forget. From the very beginning, Benita approached this whole process with the knowledge and logic of a true professional and someone who clearly loves what she does. Every time the VCF threw me a curve ball during this process, Benita knew exactly how to handle it, alleviating all fears. Also, the fact that she made herself so accessible was a major comfort. Parker Waichman is a better law firm because of Benita Rollis. I will most definitely recommend her to all who may be in need of your service. Thank you Benita and thank you Parker Waichman for helping me realize justice and absolutely changing my life as well as restoring my faith in the legal system!
