Diocese sued after suicide of man who said priest sexually abused him

PITTSBURGH (CNS) — The Diocese of Pittsburgh has denied any negligence or wrongdoing in the case of a man who had alleged he was abused by a diocesan priest as a child in the early 1980s and committed suicide in May. A lawsuit filed in Allegheny County Common Pleas Court on behalf of the estate of Michael R. Unglo, 39, contends that the diocese had stopped paying for Unglo’s psychiatric care before he took his own life May 4 while a patient at Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge, Mass. The diocese said in a July 29 statement that it “denies any negligence in this matter and cannot accept that any action of the diocese contributed to or was responsible for his death.” Unglo had said he was abused by then-Father Richard J. Dorsch between 1982 and 1985 at All Saints Church in Etna, beginning when Unglo was 10. Dorsch was convicted in 1994 for molesting another boy and subsequently served time in prison. Dorsch was removed from priestly ministry in 1996. Years later, Unglo made his allegations. However, no criminal or civil charges were filed against Dorsch regarding the allegations.
