Man Alleges Abuse Against Former Dowling Teacher

Des Moines, Iowa --

A Des Moines man is suing a former Dowling High School teacher, claiming sexual abuse when he was 15 years old.

The lawsuit claims the teacher, the Rev. Leonard Kenkel, engaged in improper, illegal and immoral sexual contact. Some of the details of the suit are graphic.

Kenkel is accused of showing his penis and fondling the boy's buttocks, NewsChannel 8 reports.

The alleged abuse took place at Dowling High School during the 1967-68 school year, when John Chambers was 15 years old.

Chamber's attorney, Mary McGee, said Chambers filed the suit to encourage victims to come forward, for closure, monetary compensation and to hold the Catholic Church accountable.
