Catholic Priest Shawn Ratigan sued for allegedly taking child pornography photos
A day after a federal grand jury indicted the Rev. Shawn Ratigan on charges that he possessed and produced child pornography, another lawsuit was filed against the priest and the Kansas City Catholic Diocese.
The lawsuit accuses Ratigan of taking “sexually explicit photographs” of a young girl at an Easter-egg hunt at the Sisters of St. Francis Convent in Independence on Easter Sunday, KMBC reported. The same incident is referenced in the indictment unsealed on Wednesday accusing Ratigan of taking pictures of the crotch area of a 12-year-old girl wearing shorts.
