The lawsuit, brought by a woman from Haida Gwaii, seeks damages against the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver and Father James Comey, who worked in parishes in Vancouver, Delta, Langley, Richmond and North Vancouver.
A Haida Gwaii woman has filed a lawsuit against the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver alleging a priest groomed and sexually abused her while she sought help in Vancouver.
“Comey’s priesthood represented to the plaintiff that Comey was ethical, honourable, spiritually superior and virtuous and, as such, could be deeply trusted,” said the claim filed by lawyer Sandra Kovacs. There, she was introduced to Comey. That began a series of counselling sessions. Comey watched sunsets with A.B., took drives in Stanley Park and shared private intimate information about other priests, claims the suit.
That exploitation, the claim alleges, included kissing A.B., sexually touching her and, on one occasion, engaging in intercourse while he knew she was high on heroin. An administrator said she would need to speak with a tribunal of priests before seeing Exner, according to the claim. A.B. suggested she would seek her own lawyer, but the administrator discouraged her from going that route, the claim says.
Exner's failure to believe A.B. revictimized her and aggravated her harms and losses, the claim alleges.The lawsuit noted Franken was appointed to a 2018 archdiocese case review committee looking into clergy abuses of women and children.
