Church Abuse
Pensacola, Florida -
A 49-year-old man sued the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pensacola- Tallahassee today for alleged sexual abuse by a priest.
The priest is now retired. The suit says he tried to molest the man 34 years ago in a Georgia motel room.
The Circuit Court suit accuses Monsignor Richard Bowles of disrobing and demanding oral sex from Paul Tugwell, then 15. The suit says it was during a 1971 trip to Calloway Gardens at Pine Mountain, Georgia. Tugwell said he refused Bowles' request.
The suit also alleges that dioceses officials failed to report the matter to police when Tugwell's parents complained and transferred Bowles from one parish to another. The suit says this perpetuated his harm to others.
