Yakima Diocese denies abuse allegations
Yakima, Washington --
The Roman Catholic church for Yakima has formally denied all charges raised in a recent lawsuit alleging sexual abuse by a priest.
A former Zillah resident, Rose Yates Lamey, filed a suit early this month in Yakima County Superior Court, saying she was raped by the Reverend Michael Simpson in 1962 when she was ten.
Lawyers for the church say it has no knowledge of the alleged abuse. Simpson is dead, and the statute of limitation has elapsed.
Last year the church in Yakima said it had spent more than $1 million to settle abuse cases involving a half dozen clergy, but Simpson was not identified as one of them.
