Diocese of Orlando Faces Three New Lawsuits Over Alleged Clergy Abuse

The Diocese of Orlando is facing three new lawsuits from men alleging sexual abuse by Catholic priests during their childhood. Two lawsuits name Father Bob Hoeffner, previously accused and killed last year by one of his accusers. A third lawsuit targets George Zina, a former church worker in the Dr. Phillips area. The lawsuits claim church leaders knew about the abuse and failed to act. The Diocese has not issued a public response, and it remains unclear if criminal investigations will follow.
