A new lawsuit accuses a former priest of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester of abusing several children on multiple occasions in the 1980s.
The suit was filed under New York’s Child Victims Act. It accuses Joseph Larrabee of grooming children and then abusing them while employed at several different parishes in the region.
Attorny Mitchell Garabedian, who represents the plaintiffs, says Larrabee was a serial pedophile. Larrabee was moved to several parishes, finishing up at St. John the Evangelist of Greece.
